Re: [ns] About a newly created class in c++

[Haobo Yu <haoboy@packetdesign.com>]

Please read the ns manual on (1) node internals and (2) how routing is
done, then you'll understand how you can change node/link and make them
compatible with existing routing code.

Of course if you'll write completely new node and link and routing all you
need to do is to provide a compatible interface to transport agents then
that's very easy.

Also see Polly's ns tutorial and ns tutorial on iec'2000 about this and
extending ns.

As I know till now, it seems that this newly created classes should be derived from the SplitObject class in the Otcl.
