Christos,

My thesis focused on exploring methods for protocol evaluation
in the context of topology change---including evaluations of SRM.
Given that this was initial exploration into hitherto uncharted
territory, my scripts only considered simple topologies.  However,
my scripts are available off the web at

On the offchance that you find it useful, you can also find and
pick up some tools I used to drive my simulations, and process
the results at http://www.isi.edu/~kannan/code/srm-scripts.tar.gz.

One person who has used ns to compare the performance of SRM with
another multicast transport protocol is Christoph Haenle <chris@cs.vu.nl>.
He compared SRM with MFTP.  I am taking the liberty of mentioning
him, hoping he does not mind.  You might want to probe him directly
for more details about his work.
