Share protocols developed by 3rd parties

[boulis]

There are several routing protocols developed by 3rd parties that would be great to integrate them in the main Castalia distribution in Github either as branches, or even in the master branch.

CTP developed by Ugo Colesanti & Silvia Santini

AODV, LEACH, REL, LABILE developed at gercom found here:

The newest CTP distribution (released 2012) works with Castalia 3.2. In case I encounter some problems here's what I commented in the forum:
Here's what you need to do to get the released CTP code to work with 3.2 (or the upcoming 3.3)

in CtpTestingApplication.cc and CtpTestingApplication.h

• replace ApplicationGenericDataPacket with ApplicationPacket
  in CtpTestingApplication.cc
• comment out the whole update_packets_received() method
• delete declareOutput("My Stats", SN) ; from the update_ddr_perSN() mehtod
  and put declareOutput("My Stats") ; at the startup() method

in mac/cc2420Mac/CC2420Mac.cc

• replace instances of getRoutingInteractionControl() with getNetMacInfoExchange()
• replace getMacInteractionControl() with getMacRadioInfoExchange()
• swap RSSI with LQI in the right hand side of the assignments (little bug in the original code)

Optional, depends on platform (I had to do it for my Mac OSX)
in mac/cc2420Mac/TosEnvironment.h AND in routing/ctpNoe/components/TosEnvironment.h:79

• line 79 replace 0x100000000 with 0xffffffff

in routing/ctpNoe/components/CtpForwardingEngine.cc

• replace line 1080 netPkt->getRoutingInteractionControl().source = selfAddress.c_str() ; // ok
  with netPkt->setSource(selfAddress.c_str()) ; // ok
• replace instances of getRoutingInteractionControl() with getNetMacInfoExchange() (lines 213, 1053, 1081)

in routing/ctpNoe/components/CtpRoutingEngine.cc AND routing/ctpNoe/components/DualBuffer.cc AND routing/ctpNoe/components/LinkEstimator.cc

• replace instances of getRoutingInteractionControl() with getNetMacInfoExchange()
