Hi,
there is a unique node ID generated by NS2 for the nodes during their creation.
it's an int. and since a short int is 16 bits, an int is 32 bits, and a long
int is 64 bits. i suppose by acceding the class Node in the c++ hierarchy and
setting the "int nodeid_" member as "short int nodeid_", you will get what u
want (NS2 will generate the id as short int (16 bits)). of course you have to
recompile...
