Hi, I have been learning how to use ns and I have run across a couple of problems. The first problem is the NAM editor seg faults when any objects are deleted, even a simple node, on linux, fedora core 4.
My second problem has to do with dynamic routing, in one of my simulations there are some agents talking to other agents across the network and on that part of the network there is only one connection. In the simulation I have that single connection go down for a short period of time and this is when all hell breaks loose. All the nodes keep sending the packets to update node information constantly until there are millions of these packets circulating around the network, never disapearing. I am wondering how you can set either a timeout or max # of hops on the packets to keep this happening or is this a bug in NS? Turning off the dynamic routing fixes the problem and the simulation works as expected for that part. If any of you can help me on this problem, it will be appreciated. Thank you, Randy
