[Ns-developers] ns3 accepted at GSOC 2010

[Zhijie Shen]

Dr. Caleffi,

I've read your paper about ATR and ITR and get a primary idea of routing
protocol on the manet. As your paper mentioned, you've already implement the
ATR and ITR protocol on the NS-2. If you can share the code on NS-2 with me,
I think I can have a better knowledge of detail. Thank you!

Additionally, I think another important issue here is to how to implement
these protocols on NS-3. So, I'm going to study the wifi modules of NS-3 to
see how to integrate them.
