Simulation API Version 1.2

• Source files and JAR package for the simulation API Ver. 1.2. (ZIP 237KB).

In this version, some errores about the fragmentation and reasembling proccess for IPv4 datagramas have been corrected. More specifically, this problems was related to the calculation of the available size for data of a IP datagram from the MTU size.

The ZIP file includes the source files por Eclipse a project as well as the compiled package Simulador.jar.

KivaNS Ver. 1.1 for Linux

• Graphic Interface source files Ver. 1.1. including simulation API 1.1 (bz2-tar 344KB).

By carring out same changes, it is not difficult to compile and execute KivaNS 1.1 on Linux. In any case, we publish this version which includes two basic changes to avoid compilation problems. First, special local characters have been remplaced for standard caharacters. Second, the deprecated methods hide() and show() have been replaced for setVisible(). Thus, this version should be compiled without problems (we have tested it with Java 1.5 and 1.6). To compile the graphical interface, a script like the following can be used:

#!/bin/bash
find /home/myuser/Kiva -iname "*.class" -exec rm {} \;
javac -classpath /home/myuser//Kiva/:/home/myuser/Kiva/Simulador.jar -Xlint:unchecked visual.java

A aspect to be beared in mind is that swing and awt environments of Java can cause some problem when a Java graphical application based on these environmets (this is the case of KivaNS) is executed on windows managers like Compiz/Beryl. In this situation, the windows are contructed, but their controls are not shown, and Java adverts something like "It is not possible to change the interface". The solution is to disable the esmerald window decorator and use the default manager (i.e. metacity, the default window manager of GNOME).

We want to thank to Quim this version of KivaNS and the previously citted recommendations.
