We are very sorry for the delay and late reply but we've had very busy period of time due to BS preparations.

Thanks for the useful link.
Of course, we understand the reasons and agree to provide our code under GPLv2-compatible license.

We suppose to do the following:
0) Make our code more readable and more commented
1) Publish our code (as a patch to ns-2.33, patched snapshot and probably patch against trunk of ns2) on our institute's website
to allow developers to look at our code and to state first comments.
2) Write some more scripts for demonstration.
3) Commit the code to the ns2-repository
4) Start writing short documentation

As soon as we publish our code on our website, we'll provide you with links to it.

In long run we are going to port our code to ns-3, but we assume, that it won't be done earlier than September.

Best regards,
