[ns] ns-2.28: multicast aodv protocol for ad hoc, simulation error, help needed

[Shuang Hu]

Hi, there,

I am trying to do some multicast routing protocol simulation for Ad
hoc with ns-2.28 these days. I found the multicast aodv(maodv) code
from  http://www.sce.carleton.ca/wmc/code.html (using ns-2.26). I
followed the document provided and modified aodv, node, wireless-phy
and related files in ns-2.28, almost step by step. after recompiling
ns-2.28(make clean, then make...), I ran the tcl script that using
maodv protocol and got the following error:

************************************************************************************************nodes

************************************************************************************************
It seems the node cannot be properly configured at the first glance. I
have tried GDB but in vain. Any idea what may be missing from the
error info? By the way, I am not sure what's "#define
UPPER_LEVEL_RECEIVE" and "#define UPPER_LEVEL_PORT 100"(aodv.h) for as
stated in document. And I used the original scenarios and traffic
files from the maodv package.

Btw, anybody has tried this package in ns-2.28 and succeeded?

Thanks,

Shuang
