  Hi, Michael, 

(In reply to comment #26)
> I added to Francesco's files to turn on and off IPv4 adapters.  

  I am pretty sure that copy-pasting one more implementation of the ns-2
mobility trace reader is a really bad idea. "The" ns-2 trace reader is reviewed
here: http://codereview.appspot.com/802041 and it will be the only ns-2 trace
reader. I will not test/review/merge the attached code. I do not recommend to
use it either.

  Note, that shutting down an IP interface is quite different from node-level
failure requested above. Also be aware the current implementation is quite
limited, e.g. IP interface up/down doesn't cause the device shutdown/restart
and some routing protocols do not respect it at all.

  Best regards,
  Pavel
