LinuxQuestions.org - Diffusion (Rmst ) (Routing tables, reinforcement messages, )

Dear ns-2 users and developers
I have been working on ns2.29 using Directed Diffusion (RMST) to simulate my network.

1- I attached the rmst as DiffApp to the node that conflict NS2 that says agents should be attached to nodes and applications to the agents so should i create diffusion agents and attach it to the nodes before.

2- i managed to run the simulation with zigbee and in the trace file i can see packets being sent and received but as diffusion is defined to do gradient reinforcement so can i see the packets which execute these reinforcements in the trace file and what will they be labelled.

3- in term of packets forwarding i cannot see any packet being forwarded from the far nodes toward the rmst sink in the trace file so should i add the routing tables manually to each node or it is internally implemented in the diffusion application

i have added my scripts at the end

With all appreciate to any reply or suggestion
Regards
Anas
