[Ns-developers] Exchanging data between two connectors - not through a script

[Pierre-Solen Guichard]

Hello everyone,

I am posting to the ns-developers after having posted to ns-users and 
asked a few skilled people around - without much success. I am doing my 
master degree internship (and thesis) and need to implement a particular 
router mechanism.

I'm stuck in programming a connector, namely a Measurement Based 
Admission Control (MBAC) that takes its decision according to data 
obtained from another connector, namely an outgoing queueing system.I 
was doing the AC in the script, which was ok on a single link to 
simulate the behaviour of that mechanism.
 
But I need to simulate more complex topologies and even do simulations 
on adaptive routing and QoS routing, with the same router mechanism - 
thus doing it in a script is no longer satisfactory and I need to be 
able to instantiate that admission control easily. I think there must be 
a very simple way by using an  reference like linkHead_ in a node or 
like fromNode_ or ifaceIn_ in a link/queue but I'missing it. I tried a 
few things but none worked. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
