Postings related to my progress towards PhD research segment. I will post extracts of my readings. I might have to keep certain things to myself for some time, though, because those would be under development.

Bridgesim bug
Running the 50 node topology simulations for single link failures, we came across some situations where the simulator would say, cannot find link between node x and node y, while the simulator itself was showing that link in its log output on the console, right there. Investigating this message, I found that the simulator was checking for NUMBER_OF_PORTS which was #defined to be 40, whereas the port numbers were running all the way to 50. So, I went ahead and changed that in bitmap.h and rebuilt bridgesim. That solved the problem.
