Hi Ntina,
Yes you can do that, using either the UDP or the TCP
protocol. However, bare in mind that in order to be sure
that this scheme will work, you need to define a separate
"sender-receiver" pair for every "node-pair" that of data exchange.
For example, if you want node1 to send data to node2 and node3, then
you should define 2 udp (tcp) senders at node1, one for each node receiver
defined at nodes node2 and node3 respectively. According to the
documentation
up to ns-2.29, defining one sender-node and connecting it simultaneously
with 2 receivers it might not work properly, meaning that it may only send
data to one of the two receivers, or to both, or to both of them in changing
orders (the latter case is an erroneous one, because not ALL packets that
should be sent get
sent, but only a subset of them). In any case, it is an unpredictable
behavior and
it should not be tried.
Defining separate sender-receiver pairs if the best way to go in my opinion.
