[ns] static route path!

[Sowmya Manjanatha <sowmyam@mars.iol.unh.edu>]

Hi all,

                           ----- node2 -----
                          |                 |
      src_node --- node1 -                   -- node4 --- dst_node
                          |                 |
	                   ----- node3 -----

      Given the above topology and considering that no dynamic routing
mechanism is used, I presume that when the agent on src_node and agent on
dst_node  are connected using the "$ns connect $src_agent $dst_agent"  command,
the route between node1 and node4 is setup (correct me if I am wrong).

1. If "connect" is not the command when the path is defined, please let me
   know when it is actually defined.

2. In the above scenario, then what's the route chosen, through node2 or
   node3 ??

3. Also, is there a linked list for each route in the network which
   maintains the list of nodes involved in forwarding ??

Any/All information regarding above will be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,
Sowmya.
