[ns] Classification decision and node id

[Teerawat Issariyakul]

Dear Thanes,

You may find the answer about classifier at
http://t-issariyakul.blogspot.com/

For more information about Classifiers, see Chapter 6 in the following
book from Springer:

T. Issaraiyakul and E. Hossain, "Introduction to Network Simulator
NS2", Springer 2008.
http://www.springer.com/engineering/signals/book/978-0-387-71759-3

As for the second question, the quick answer is NO. A classifier is
installed in a link, not a node. So you cannot find the node-id for a
link.

Best Regards,
Teerawat
