Hi, I am really curious to know if anybody in this forum has detailed knowledge about the network simulator source code. I have a lot of questions and I have tried posting it here but haven't received any responses with people who are the architects of the source code.
I really want to know once the node is created through node.cc, is that node referenced anywhere else in the source code? I tried to step through each step of the source code and could not find any reference to it. In the document, it says that classifiers are associated with each node. Is there any ways of accessing these classifier from the node itelf? I mean from the static node list created from node.cc. Is it possible to access queues associated with each classifier (link)? The variable target_ is used all over the source code without providing any satisfactory explanation for its usage in various places. What does target_ really means? Does it means the next hop node for the packet? If thats the case then why it's address doesn't match with the address of one of the nodes from the static node list created initially from node.cc? If someone here knows the inside out of the simulator, please comment on the above questions. Thanks, - Faisal
