I tried to run the example code available here: http://simula.stanford.edu/~alizade/Site/DCTCP_files/dctcp-ns2-rev1.0.tar.gz
As per the readme file, the patch was successfully applied but on executing the example code, the following error was obtained:
ns: myTrace file3: can't read "dctcp_alpha_": no such variable while executing "subst $[subst $var]" (procedure "_o154" line 5) (Object next line 5) invoked from within "_o154 next dctcp_alpha_" ("eval" body line 1) invoked from within "eval $self next $args" (procedure "_o154" line 18) (Agent set line 18) invoked from within "$tcp($i) set dctcp_alpha_" (procedure "myTrace" line 8) invoked from within "myTrace file3"
How could this be solved?
Build example : tar xvf ns-allinone-2.35_gcc482.tar.gz

cd ns-allinone-2.35/ns-2.35/
patch -p1 --ignore-whitespace -i dctcp.patch
cd ../
./install
cd ns-2.35/
sudo make install
cp ns ns235-dctcp
sudo cp ns235-dctcp /usr/local/bin/
.. The files mytracefile.tr 2.1MB, thrfile.tr 10.2kB are created. ( And queue.tr : 0B ).
Your errors : You are probably using a wrong executabe 'ns'.
The safe way is a copy of the DCTCP patched 'ns', with a new name.
And with a location in a system PATH, like /usr/local/bin/ns235-dctcp
