[ns] how to forward packets based on probability

[Mubashir Rehmani]

Hi Phenix,

To forward a packet with certain probability, you need to include an if
condition in the sendPkt() function. It should be something like this:

If(probability > 0.5)
{
 Scheduler::instance().schedule(target_, p, delay);
}

in the SendPkt() function.

Hope it helps
