RE: [ns] Using nam to draw NSF topology?

["Haobo Yu" <haoboy@isi.edu>]

tcl/ex/srm-demo.tcl shows a larger topology about 15 nodes and links.
~nam/ex/{rbp_demo,flat-*,losspatterns}.nam show some examples of
predefined nam layout.

When you specify that manual layout, you must be careful about the order
of nodes in your duplex link and the order in which links are created. Think
about
it as you are laying down links one by one to form a spanning tree. Then
grow
edges on top of that. It can be tricky for larger topology.
