I shouldn't be using hierarchical routing; that only kicks in when you 
have more than one routing level, yes? Not with:

$ns set-address-format hierarchical 1 9

or similar. In any case, since they use the same link indexing, it's
a moot point.

CtrMcast encountered a simplex link, and apparently didn't know what
to do with it. Is CtrMcast assuming that links are duplex even when
they're not?

thanks,

and the IETF UDLR group is addressing similar problems in RL.
