Or, there are no answers. Many people on this list do cutting-edge research which means that there are no straight answers. Typical example, there might not exist an implementation of ad-hoc routing protocol XYZ because only five people in the world know about it, and they use OMNET.

However, I believe there are other reasons for questions not being answered as well. These URLs should be read before posting questions.

The latter one exists in a number of translations. This might be useful for people (like myself) not using English as their mother tounge.

Take care,
