[ns] UMTS AKA PROTOCOL NS-2 CODE PROBLEM

[Mats Folke]

Hi!

There is a UMTS extension to ns-2 called EURANE (google for it), but I doubt it will solve your needs. Depending on your exact problem statement I question whether simulation is the right tool or not. If your task is to compare different security proposals for, say complexity, analysis might be a better option than simulation. If you on the other hand are looking for performance, then simulation _might_ be an option.

"A problem well formulated is half solved", Good luck!
