Weekly Progress

Weekly Progress

Week 1 (September 29 - October 6)

• Created github repository and added ns3 files.
• Read about Queue Management and Bufferbloat problem.

Week 2 (October 7 - October 14)

• Read about Active Queue Management (Random Early Detection).
• Read RFC 8033 about PIE, added points to README (Later shifted to Wiki).
• Read about Flow Queuing (links mentioned in README).
• Read about FQ-CoDel and CoDel to understand the how FQ works.

Week 3 (October 14 - October 21)

• Discussion with PhD scholar about further progress and clarified misconceptions about the protocols.
• Trying to understand code of PIE and PIE-example.

Week 4 (October 22 - October 29)

• Studied ns3 code of pie-example, pie-queue-disc, codel, fq-codel. Obtained a basic idea of how exactly the codes work and how exactly our part of the port must be executed (mentioned in readme).
• Finding out ways to implement FQ-PIE.

Week 5 (October 30 - November 6)

• Made changed in fq-pie-example.cc, fq-pie,queue-disc.cc and fq-pie-queue-disc.h.
• Further todo - Make changes in fq-pie-queue-disc, cc and h. Fq-pie-example is completed. We can also implement other topologies that highlight the Flow queueing phenomenon.

Week 6 (November 7 - 10)

• Basic skeleton of code completed (fq-pie-queue-disc {.h,.cc}, fq-pie-example.cc) .
• Further checks for logical errors is being done.

November 11

• Completed files fq-pie-queue-disc {.h,.cc} in /src/traffic-control/model
• Completed example of fq-pie in /src/traffic-control/examples
• Testing is completed, provides excellent results when pitted against PIE.
