Yes, this completely confused me as well: why is all of the mcast routing
written in OTcl?
Ok, in a Panglossian world, I'd expect that one could straightforwardly
replace the scripting language with whatever one wanted and that the
scripting language is merely a way for configuring the simulation, not for
writing one.

Smoking who's crack? This is not a US Navy approved activity.

That's easy. Just submit a paper to SIGCOMM. Then fling the appropriate
sticks with metal points on the end at the white robed SIGCOMM Neterati.
QED.
