Re: [ns] sending a new packet type

[Tarik Alj <aljtarik@ozias.inrs-telecom.uquebec.ca>]

No target for slot 8 means the classifier has nothing in the slot number 8. 
Could it be that the target for newAgent is not the correct classifier? Maybe it 
passes the packets to the agent classifier instead of the node classifier. It 
would explain that the classifier doesn't have any pointers in slot 8. (It 
should have a pointer to the head of the link corresponding to the next hop from 
src to dst).
