[ns] ns2 & MPLS & DiffServ

[Gerrit Einhoff <gerein@gmx.de>]

Hello.

We want to simulate a network using MPLS & DiffServ. After digging through
the list-archive, I'm a bit confused about, which NS-version to use. As I
understand it there are the following options:

DiffServ:
 - Nortel DiffServ-patch (integrated in 2.1b8)
   (http://www7.nortel.com:8080/CTL/
    website down)
 - patch by Sean Murphy (for 2.1b6)
   (http://www.teltec.dcu.ie/~murphys/ns-work/diffserv/index.html
    should be up again by tomorrow)

MPLS:
 - MNS1 (integrated in 2.1b7, is that true??)
 - MNS2 (for 2.1b6)
   (http://flower.ce.cnu.ac.kr/~fog1/mns/
    the URL from the ns-webpage is wrong)

So I can use 2.1b6 with Sean Murphy's patch and MSN2, or 2.1b8 with the
Nortel patch and the integrated MNS1. Am I right with that? Has anyone
managed to install MNS2 with 2.1b8? Are there other options? Are there any
major problems with 2.1b6 that could prevent me from using that older  
version?

Thanks, Gerrit Einhoff
