[ns] str2addr problem

[Nino.Kubinidze]

Thanks Padma,
In regard to the same question, say if I have a link from a base station
node to a wired node,  how to make this BS node recognizable by its id & not
its hierarchical address? And then if I had "id2addr" in the same code
below, instead of "str2addr", would it be correct to use it?

Thanks
Nino

The function takes an address in string format (especially relevant for 
hierarchical addresses, "1.2.8") and converts them to addresses in field 
format. Read chapter on hier addressing in ns-manual for details about bit 
allocation per field and other features of hier. addressing.
