Re: vlan simulator

Hi,

	there is currently nothing about VLANs in ns. I have written some code 
for that. It lets you define a subnet, switches, trunk lines, and VLANs. It's 
built on the same base as actual LANs in ns, and it does not support features 
like Spanning Tree or GARP applications. 
	The code still has to be reviewed by my supervisor, let me know if you 
are interested.
	
	If you'd rather do the changes yourself, i can tell you most of the code 
for LANs can be reused, you would have to add a VLAN header at the C++ level; 
but the rest can mostly be OTcl.
