Hi, I am a newbie to ns-2. I am writing a ad-hoc protocol for ns-2. I am modifying the contents of AODV. The protocol decides the route to take based on a formula involving collisions around the nodes in the route. I know how to find the collisions that have occured by looking at the trace files at the end of the simulation. But, how do I find out in real-time during simulation, the number of collisions around a given node from the protocols. Should I write my own C++ code to calculate this from the trace during simulation or is there any other way out. I need that to do routing decisions during simulation. Thanks in advance for helping me.
