Re: [ns] cooperation between wired and wireless rp's

Hi Dan,
  In DSDV implementation, the DSDVAgent does take care of the pkt
received from wired nodes, as well as pkts from wireless nodes.
when mobile nodes need to send pkts to wired node, they may send them to
the base station and the base station will forward the pkt using the
normal IP routing.

  while in current AODV implementation, it cares only  pkts sent among
the mobile nodes. So you may need modification of the code. And one
thing is the now each aodv agent is associated with an index, while in
mobile IP implementation, each node is associated with an hierachical
address, which is also used in DSDV implementation. You may also add
that to AODV.
I mean there's almost no communication happens between AODV and mobile
IP agent right now. But in the figure 16.3, we can see that the mobile
ip agent would use ad hoc routing agent(DSDV,AODV..) as routing agent
and pkts will forward down to them. Cause AODV doesn't handle these pkts
correctly, the cooperation between them will fail.

  You may take a look at DSDV more carefully, there're many places that
they put effort to deal with mobile ip.

  good luck!
