[ns] Classifier definition and population

[Andrea Josi <mr_josi@yahoo.it>]

Hi,

i have 2 questions on unicast routing:

* a node's classifier is firstly defined by the base
routing module "register" method:

set classifier_ [new Classifier/Hash/Dest 32]

why a HASH classifier ? (i would expect an ADDRESS
classifier )


* a node's classifier is populated with the
"add-route" method; actually this method is invoked in
a STATIC routing procedure, "compute-flat-routes",
while "add-route" is nowhere to be found neither in
rtObject nor in Agent/rtProto/DV "compute-routes"
procedures  (actually in rtObject compute-routes there
is an invocation to "add-routes" that should be used
for multipath routing -----> ????????)

WHY ? how does NS populate node's classifiers in a
dynamic routing context ?


Thanks a lot,

               Andrea.
