[ns] coloring packets ...

["Anshuman Kanwar" <akanwar@cs.ucsb.edu>]

Hi,
 I am implementing an application that uses RLM like congestion
control. My server is coded in C++. 

I can distinguish my data packets (layer 1 to n) based on a field in the
header. I wish to color the packets of each layer differently.

Is there any way I can color packets (for display in nam) from within my
application (c++) ... or do i bind that header value to TCL and
define a "set class_ 1" etc.

What is the easier way to do it?

Thanks for your time,
regards,
Anshuman.
