Try out OSPF like routing protocol in ns

[sunmin@networks.ecse.rpi.edu (Mingzhou Sun)]

Hi there,

A few month back I asked if there's any OSPF like implementation for ns-2. 
Some people seemed to be interested in the same question. Now I've got 
some Shortest Path First routing protocol implemented for ns-2. I believe
it is similar to OSPF running on a flat topology with point-to-point links.
It doesn't not have other fancy features in OSPF, but it suits my own need. 
It might, however, serve as a starting point if you are interested in a more
realistic OSPF implementation in ns-2. 

The protocol is called Agent/rtProto/LS. Functionally, it's parallel to 
Agent/rtProto/DV, the distance vector routing protocol in ns-2. 
So you can use it the same way as DV. The only difference in the user interface
is the name. That is, you call $ns rtproto LS, instead of $ns rtproto DV. 

If case you are interested, You can find the HTML README and a link to 
the package at
