Just went through ip-tech.blogspot and happened to read on his post about creating own protocols. This information is really helpful to me, hopefully by reading the guideline in "Implementing a New Unicast routing Protocol in NS2", I would able to write my own routing protocols soon.

Download: NS-2.33
After done some literature review, since like NS-2 would be the best network simulation tool in my research. As most people have used it all this time. Therefore, I have tried to install the latest NS-2.33 in cygwin because my operating system is in Windows XP (in Virtual PC).
Here are the steps to install NS-2 in virtual pc with cygwin:

I should have blog this earlier about every obstacles and steps that have been taken upon my NS-2 experience. I hope now is still not too late yet. I hope to give this blog updated with every problems that I have faced when installing NS-2, running NS-2 and progressing with my research throughout my postgraduate studies.
Besides having this blog as a note to myself, hopefully the contents of the blog can serve as an aid to others who faced the similar problem as me. I have found blog is the most informative way for me to learn the way to start NS-2 and has helped me to solve some of my problem. Therefore, I have decided to write in my blog too to share with people and gained valuable advice from my reader.
Happy reading! That all for a short opening post. ^ ^
