[Ns-developers] ns-2 release plans: call for items

[Marcello Caleffi]

Dear all,
as reported by Tom, our research team proposes to merge to the next  
ns-2 release the AOMDV protocol (a multi-path routing protocol for ad  
hoc networks) available here http://wpage.unina.it/marcello.caleffi/ 
ns2/aomdv.html .
We released the code a few months ago, and until now all the reported  
bugs have been fixed.

Regarding the ATR protocol (a dth-based routing protocol for ad hoc  
networks), we are still working on to "clean and fix" the code. So,  
we need to know the reease date before to confirm our proposal to  
merge it with the ns-2 tree.

Regards, Marcello.
