[ns] Urgent: Confusion in Hierarchical Routing

[55ahmad at niit.edu.pk]

Dear Michael Lee,

  I am afraid, I haven't received any answer of my questions from any NS
user yet. But i m pleased to inform my personal investigation on
question number 2. Actually the address in trace file comes in a
hierarchical format but it is stored in "int" which converts the ip
address into 7 or 8 digit number. You can correct this ambiguity by
modifing ip_format() method mentioned in cmu-trace.cc file. please
change the -Hd %d to -Hd %s and display nxt_hop for this %s. The nxt_hop
is assigning a value by:
char *nxt_hop = Address::instance().print_nodeaddr(iph->saddr());

This is the only answer that i got by my personal efforts. I am waiting
may be some expert answer my other questions. Thank you Michael for your
query. If u have any further question, please don't hesitage to ask it to
me.
