Hi Raja, For me, it took almost one year for me to fully understand and use NS-2, and another 6 months to start create new protocol - with bad results (my protocol did not work as it suppose to - lots of lost packets). Most probably because I had no one to guide me in using it. My supervisor does not know how to use NS-2, so, most of the time, I have to figure things by myself. But now, since I have some help from a postdoctoral student, it take shorter time to figure out the problems I'm facing - just three weeks to correct my protocol and ensure that it works as it supposed to.
My advice, better find someone who really knew NS-2 to help you and shorten the learning curve. Mailing list can help you but not all the time.
