To Import UDP-HEADER.H Packages in NS3 we have popped out the needed steps that are required. The UdpHeader class offers functions to set and get important UDP header fields like source and destination ports, length, and checksum. It allows for serialization and deserialization, making it easy to create and read UDP headers during network simulations. This class is crucial for simulating and studying UDP communication, which is commonly used in situations needing quick or real-time data transfer in NS-3. Developers working on UDP simulations should understand udp-header.h, as it provides the tools needed to manage UDP packets and their functions effectively.
Installation steps of Udp-header.h.
PRE-REQUISITES:
- Fresh installation of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS:

2.NS-3.35 Installation:

HEADER FILE VERIFICATION:
- Locate to the ns3/scratch folder:

2.Create the Udp-header_eg.cc file in the scratch folder:
Next we need to create the Udp-header_eg.cc file by using text editor in the ns3/scratch folder.
Screenshot:

Next we need to paste the below code to the Udp-header_eg.cc file and save the file in the ns3/scratch folder.
Code:
#include “ns3/core-module.h”
#include “ns3/udp-header.h”
#include “ns3/ipv4-address.h”
#include “ns3/packet.h”
#include <iostream>
using namespace ns3;
int main() {
// Create a UDP Header object
UdpHeader udpHeader;
// Set source and destination ports
udpHeader.SetSourcePort(12345);
udpHeader.SetDestinationPort(80);
std::cout << “Source Port: ” << udpHeader.GetSourcePort() << std::endl;
std::cout << “Destination Port: ” << udpHeader.GetDestinationPort() << std::endl;
// Create a Packet and add the UDP header to it
Ptr<Packet> packet = Create<Packet>(100); // 100 bytes of payload
packet->AddHeader(udpHeader);
// Print the packet contents
std::cout << “Packet Size: ” << packet->GetSize() << ” bytes” << std::endl;
UdpHeader receivedHeader;
packet->RemoveHeader(receivedHeader); // Extract the UDP header from the packet
std::cout << “Received Source Port: ” << receivedHeader.GetSourcePort() << std::endl;
std::cout << “Received Destination Port: ” << receivedHeader.GetDestinationPort() << std::endl;
return 0;}

3.Open the Terminal:
Next, we need to launch the terminal by right clicking the mouse in the ns3 location.

4.NS-3.35 Configuration && Building Process:
Next, we need to configure and build the ns3 folder to make the copied files to the scratch need to store in configuration.
Command: “./waf configure && ./waf build”
Screenshot:

5.Importing Udp-header.h:
Here we imported the Udp-header.h header file in this example program.
Screenshot:

Here we highlighted the code line that GetSourcePort() class which is the part of the Udp-header.h that we will show class file that used in this code via internet folder.
Screenshot:

Screenshot:

Here we will show the header file by opening Udp-header.h file to show the class imported from the Udp-header.h in the example code.
Screenshot:

6.Executing the Example Udp-header Program:
Then we need to run the Example Udp-header program to view output of the program.
Command: “./waf –run Udp-header_eg”
Screenshot:

Here we shown the output of the example Udp-header program by using Udp-header.h.
