Whoah, that is too complicated for me.   I don't know ns-2 very well.  What do 
you mean by:
"make a pointer to the ITF" -- doesn't it have a pointer (uptarget_)?  
According to the diagram on pg 145 I should do uptarget_ ->downtarget_->reset()
since
uptarget will take me to the LL, downtarget will take me to the IFq, and reset 
will reset the queue for that node.

But this doesn't work.  Uptarget_ gives me an NsObject instead of a LL object...
