What do you mean by 'work well'? At

http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Personal/L.Wood/ns/

you'll see a screenshot of nam 1.0a4 rendering the routing setup stage
of a fairly complex (11 rings of six nodes per ring, fourway
connected, with each torus node having an external link) long-delay
toroidal network. That's 132 nodes...

All I had to do was leave layout information alone, and thump
're-layout' once. I didn't even need to tweak Ca, Cr, or iterations -
which is fortunate, since nam has always ignored the initial values
for those set in my script anyway.

Cheers,
