Hi The issue i'm facing is that broadcast packet is reaching node 4 from 9 but unicast packet is not. This agent is just to demonstrate that the broadcast packet is reaching some nodes but unicast packet is not. Since routing protocols use broadcast packets to calculate the route they can consider such a node every time but when sending the data through unicast there will be problem.
For example if i want to send packets from node 9 to node 4 then routing algorithms like OLSR that are based on broadcast packets for route calculation will consider node 4 as the best hop, as it is getting broadcast route replies from it. But when a packet is sent to node 4 it will be dropped. If the node 9 detects this failure then it will again find calculate new route based on broadcast packets and again node 4 will be the best one. I'm curious to know why there is a difference range of broadcast and unicast. Is there a problem in ns or i'm doing something wrong? By analysing the trace files i found that the node is dropping the packets and the reason for that is ARP. How can this be fixed? Thanks Amit Khanna
