Hello,
I am currently implementing a efficient flooding algorithm (with source
sequence numbers) in the wireless model of NS2 and my code makes use of
the num_forwards() function accessible in the common header of a packet.
The code looks like:
// We forward the packet if we this node has not already forwarded
// the packet or if the packet is a new one ( num_forward() == 0 )
if( ( ssf_seq_num_last < ssfh->pkt_seq_num() ) ||
( ch->num_forwards() == 0 ) )
If I use the Mac/802_11 layer num_forward() gets incremented every time
the packet passes the MAC layer. If I use Mac/Simple num_forward()
remains zero. A short grep showed me that in fact this is the case and
Mac/Simple does not increment it.
Is the use of num_forwards() deprecated or should Mac/Simple simply not
be used?
Regards,
Christian
