Full reproducibility information on the results of "Comparative Study of Packet Loss Models for Flooding Protocols in Dense Wireless Networks" article, submitted to WiMob 2025

Simulator installation (GNU/Linux or macOS): Download this version of BitSimulator (which is BitSimulator at commit ffd3224 from 03 07 2025) and compile using classical ./configure && make. Execute make install, or alternatively add bitsimulator and visualtracer in the executable path.

Scenario files: Execute the following commands: mkdir packetloss; cd packetloss. In this empty directory add the following files: scenario-udg.xml, scenario-shadowing.xml, and main.sh.

Reproducibility information: Execute ./main.sh (make it executable if needed, with chmod +x main.sh). This file starts the simulator for all parameters and generates all the simulation log files (it takes 4 minutes on my laptop, and uses 4 GB of storage for the log files), afterwards reads the generated log files and outputs to the screen the data shown in the Fig. 3 to 8, which are graphically plotted using LaTeX.
