Final Project

Please find the project information file on iLearn
• Add a trace source called Rx to UDP echo servers: .cc .h

Show all the attributes available for the simulation script to SetDefault:
• 
  In the header, insert
  
  #include "ns3/config-store-module.h"
  
  Before Simulation::Stop, put
  
  Config::SetDefault ("ns3::ConfigStore::Filename", StringValue ("output-attributes.txt"));
  
  Config::SetDefault ("ns3::ConfigStore::FileFormat", StringValue ("RawText"));
  
  Config::SetDefault ("ns3::ConfigStore::Mode", StringValue ("Save"));
  
  ConfigStore outputConfig2;
  
  outputConfig2.ConfigureDefaults ();
  
  outputConfig2.ConfigureAttributes ();
  
  If you see a newly added attribute in the output-attributes.txt, you can now SetDefault for your backoff mode value.
