Hi, I have a question regarding the link state routing (rtProtoLS) implementation for wired networks in ns-2.31. Yes, I did check the documentation and searched ns2 mailing lists. I know that this particular code is not well documented, as is mentioned in the ns2 documentation and I cannot get hold of the author (Mingzhou Sun from RPI).
However, I am wondering if someone has used this code before and knows how to specify the cost of the link. The obvious command $ns_ cost <node1> <node2> [cost] has no affect on the behavior of the routing. Secondly, does it accept one parameter as the cost of the link or can I specify more than one parameter for link selection. Finally, is there any other ns2 implementation of Link State for wired networks (not even a classical OSPF!)? My objective is to dynamically change the link costs based on different metrics so as to induce necessary route changes for my specific scenario. In this case, I am more interested in WHAT the link updates propagate rather than how they propagate. Any help would be greatly appreciated even if its just pointing in the right direction. Thanks Abdul.
