I'm still not sure what you are measuring and analyzing, but using dbg() in the SIM should give you a way to reverse engineer the simulated topologies. It would seem to me that mostly what you'll get is information about how the simulator simulates itself, but maybe that's worthwhile.
On moving to a real system you may not have any way to determine the topology, aside from recording the path each message takes from source to base...and perhaps the number of different paths the message takes. For that I would instrument the message itself. I don't know if printf() works and plays well with a multi-hop system because it's another thing I haven't used. If it does, then I would use it in my SIM as well in order to avoid making too many changes when moving into the real world. good luck MS Rémi Villé wrote: > 2009/5/27 Michael Schippling <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> > > A.
