Re: [ns] addition to ip hdr







Greetings,

While on the subject, is there any way to keep *all* headers from being
included in a packet?  That is, it seems like alot of baggage to have all
protocol headers within each packet as appears to be the case.  Say if you
have a TCP packet, why would you want to include say a UDP header in the
packet?  How much storage is wasted in the simulator due to this.  Of
course, each protocol only pays attention to the headers it is interested
in, but from a simulator perspective, isn't this a waste?
