  If you use this software in academic work, please cite both the
  software (this entry, repository-code) and the peer-reviewed 2002 ISCC
  paper (preferred-citation below).  The 2001 thesis is the authoritative
  design document and is listed under references.

abstract: >-
  DiffServ4NS is a Differentiated Services module for the ns-2 network
  simulator, implementing RFC 2474/2475 edge and core routers with
  policers (Token Bucket, srTCM, trTCM, TSW2CM, TSW3CM), droppers (WRED,
  RIO), fair-queueing schedulers (WFQ, WF2Q+, SCFQ, SFQ, LLQ, alongside
  RR, WRR, WIRR and strict priority), and per-DSCP monitoring of one-way
  delay, delay variation, goodput, RTT and window size.  Designed in 2001
  as the implementation backing the author's MSc thesis and released on
  SourceForge in 2006, it is preserved here in two variants: the 2001
  sources on the ns-2.29 API, kept verbatim, and a 2026 ns-2.35 port
  layer that fixes nine latent defects and corrects the UDP header size
  without altering the 2001 design.
