There's an incomplete class hierarchy at "NS by example" http://nile.wpi.edu/NS/ in the `Network Components' section (direct link: http://nile.wpi.edu/NS/components.html ) In addition, if you go over the manual and/or do some coding yourself you'll quickly find out that all the C++ stuff is in the ns directory (and in sub-directories thereof) while the tcl-related code resides in ns/tcl/. It should easily be possible to figure out what's within a directory by its name. There seem to be some exceptions, however: for instance, the UDP implementation -- a classical agent -- is located within ns/*apps*. Another thing that might be necessary to determine is whether implementations are part of OTcl or C++ or both. For instance, the web-cache client and server are available in OTcl only while its transport wrapper is part of C++. HTH, --Timo
