The point here is that you want to execute your local apps *through* your
nodes,
not independently *within* the program. In general, the command to execute
an
external program through an NS-2 script is to use the exec command followed
by
the program name and any parameters that it may need.
However, your case is a bit more complicated since you would like to have
your
node to behave *through* your program (making connections, sending traffic
to other
nodes, receiving traffic from other nodes, etc). However, I think that if
you want
to customize NS, you would have to tamper with the C++ files and
re-configure, re-make
NS.
An intermediate solution would be to *exec* your programs through NS and
communicate
the (any) results through files (text or not), *or,* use C++ coding to
modify the node behaviour
through external calls to your programs (I suppose you have the source
code), *or* if your programs
were written in a C-style language, to "insert" them in the node
configuration - programming files.
I am afraid that (as far as I know) there is not a straightforward way to do
this kind of thing you want.
