In ns, a multicast capable node can also forward unicast traffic;
however, it is not currently possible to construct a topology with
a mix of unicast-only and multicast-capable nodes in the default case.
It is however possible to write very simple routines to construct
your own topology in this situation. The documentation, available
at http://www-mash.cs.berkeley.edu/ns/nsDoc.ps.gz, explains how the
different types of nodes are constructed---you could use that as a
base for creating your own variations on the topology. (Check out the
notes on the node's enable-mcast method, described in the chapter on
nodes in the documentation; I think it does some of what you want).
We, on the VINT project, are not currently adding mobility to ns. I
believe that there are other people working on this, though I do not
recollect offhand who these people are.
