ns-2 simulator implementing a manet routing protocol
 

I am trying to implement a manet routing protocol based on the flooding algorithm. Every packet that is sent by a initial node is forwarded
by every intermediate node to all its neighbours, except for the one from witch it received the packet.

Then I have to try the flooding protocol on a simple ad-hoc network.

I am reading this tutorial:
"Implementing a New Manet Unicast Routing Protocol in NS2", Francisco J.Ros, Pedro M. Ruiz

It is the first time that I am trying to implement my own protocol so I am pretty lost. I wanted to ask if there is anyone who has tried the same thing or anything similar and can offer any useful information. Thanks very much!

When you're dealing with NS-2 it's the best solution to start from a similar code (different protocol of the same kind etc) and change it to fit your needs. Writing from scratch can be painful, especially if you have no ns experience.
