I modeled my protocol after the dsdv code released with NS
version 2.1b8.  If you are familiar with dsdv and wouldn't mind
giving me some tips, that would be wonderful.

Thanks much,

Julie Wong

Hi,  I am new to NS2 and would like to get some pointers on how
to debug a NS2-based wireless protocol.  My main obstacle is
data packets don't seem to be received by apparently reachable
destination nodes.  Is there an easy way to go about finding out
where the break down is happening in.  The data packet leaves
the source node, the next hop is instantiated in the packet header,
but is never seen again.  I assume that it goes to the link/MAC layer
and some how lost or transmission failed.  But how do I find out
in where and how it disappeared?

Thanks much,

Julie Wong
