Ashutosh, While this gives me a copy of the attachments, I still have not seen your original message. However, from the title and attachments, it appears that you are going to examine how various malicious attacks affect a network. I see a number of problems doing that with NS. If my assumptions am wrong, I expect someone on the list will correct me.
1. NS is designed to simulate normal, steady state network functions. There are a number of boundary conditions that can affect the data generated, in some cases past the point where it becomes unusable. What you are now proposing goes well outside of those boundaries, and the resulting behavior will be undefined, at best. 2. Different attacks have different effects on different devices. Each network stack and driver combination has its own unique reaction to various attacks, which also can vary based on the firmware or software version installed. I do not believe the code in NS can correctly respond to any of those attacks, since it was designed to model a working system, not simulate the individual components that would react to such an attack. Many of the described attack vectors will be completely ignored by NS in its current state. To overcome these problems, you will need to do a significant amount of work to inject code that identifies attacks and simulates the correct reactions at each node. You will also need to add methods to assign hardware specific characteristics to each node. Since NS does not currently have specific code for multi-homed nodes, more work must be done to accurately simulate the reactions of routers and switches.

Is there something wrong with the original format, or is the server changing it so that Outlook cannot read the full message? I am using Microsoft Outlook 2003 SP2 on Win2K Pro. (Not my choice.)
