procedure newLan



Hi,

I have a question about Lans.  

In ns2.1b4 there is 2 tcl procedures  Simulator::newLan

One in ~ns/tcl/lan/ns-lan.tcl
which calls 
set lan [eval new LanLink $self $args]

And one in ns/tcl/lan/vlan.tcl
which calls
set lan [eval new LanNode $self -bw $bw -delay $delay $args]

As I guess that only the second one is used, what is the purpose
of keeping the first one, and how otcl knows which one to use ?
Is this only for backward compatibility or just to add an extra
level of difficulty ?


Cheers,
Thierry.
