@Eren121 Were you able to solve this?

[Eren121]

@FilMarini Iirc you need to use Ubuntu 16.04 or 18.04, don't remember exactly which. It's old but you can use Docker for this.

@Eren121 Thanks, I'll try with Docker. Were you able to compile the whole thing and get things working in Ubuntu?

[Eren121]

I don't remember if it was fully working.
Because of the many problems I just forked the project and upgraded ns3 so that it works with recent software versions.

You have can try other solutions which are very similar and all based on ns3-rdma:

• HPCC
• coneweave-ns3
• My fork. Adapted for my needs but the core RDMA is still here and I only kept Mellanox CC model.
