Tdma-dama is a TDMA MAC for ns-2 2.28 and 2.29, available in patch format (old version) and the latest version with examples. Its purpose is to study DAMA (Demand-Assignment Multiple Allocation) mechanisms on satellite systems. While being general and easily extensible, it is targeted towards the allocation mechanisms described in the DVB-RCS standard.

Tdma-dama has been validated by comparing its behaviour with the Skyplex satellite system, see Simulating dynamic bandwidth allocation on satellite links.
