[ns] How to access mac layer in c++ of ns2

[Teerawat Issariyakul]

Hi Basim,

The connection from a node to a TCP agent is fairly subtle. Basically, a
Node has an instvar dmux_ which is a classifier. It install a TcpAgent
and TcpSink in the "slot" of the classifier dmux_. This occurs when
you invoke commands like

$ns attach-agent $n0 $udp0

You may find the details in the book (chs 4 and 6) from Springer:

T. Issaraiyakul and E. Hossain, "Introduction to Network Simulator
NS2", Springer 2008.
