Re: [ns] AODV infinite loop with TOUT

[Ya Xu <yaxu@ISI.EDU>]

A few issues may lead to loop

(1) The AODV protocol that ns2.1b7a implementation was based on was
not loop-free (Some changes have been made to AODV since then in order to
make it loop-free, AFAIK)

(2) ns2.1b7a has a bug to lead to AODV loop.

Now the current ns ns-snapshot fixed the problem (2). 

We do have timetable to fix (1).
