Has anyone simulated a mobile node using only send/receive functions with
ns-2?  

Is it absolutely necessary to have separate Routing/MAC/Transport layers to
use ns-2?

Thanks,

Subject: [ns] Simulating an embedded ad-hoc wireless protocol


Greetings,

I have an ad-hoc wireless protocol that has been implemented and fielded
in an embedded system.  I would like to simulate it for performance
benchmarking.  My problem is that the code is written in C and it has
it's own custom implementation for the MAC, routing protocol, queueing,
etc.  I have just started looking into ns-2, and from what I understand,
it requires the MAC, routing protocol, and message queue to be in
seperate classes (inheriting from Agent, Mac, etc.).

Is it possible to use ns-2 to simulate a node at the transport layer,
and treat the rest as a black box?  If not, do you have any
suggestions/comments for simulating this firmware?

Thanks in advance,

Jeff S.
