Hi,

Currently there's no notion of igmp in ns, actually there's no clear 
distinction between the hosts and the routers (every node can be thought 
of as both,... e.g. like a unix workstation implementing multicast routing),

so currently the DR for a source/receiver is the same node to which it is 
attached.

As for leaf node, it would be a 'leaf router' in ns,
