Regarding the writing of your own routing agent, one pointer I would recommend is the use of the NRL protolib [1] toolkit, because they have an example of a routing agent (OLSR) built against that library. By authoring your model as a protolib component, you can also use your routing agent on real implementations and in other simulators too. - Tom [1] http://downloads.pf.itd.nrl.navy.mil/protolib/
