Hi, I want to broadcast a packet using an udp agent. I found some solutions at this maillist but neither satisfactory.
I just want to send broadcast packet from 1 node to another 2 nodes in his range. My idea was change the dst ip to -1 and dst port to 0 because i saw somewhere that is the way to broadcast. I'm using the 802.11Ext model of MAC, the new module of the NS 2.34 Well, I made this way: set udp0 [new Agent/UDP] $ns attach-agent $node $udp0 set cbr2 [new Application/Traffic/CBR] $cbr2 set packetSize_ 128 $cbr2 set interval_ 0.015 $cbr2 set random_ 1 $cbr2 set maxpkts_ 1000 $cbr2 attach-agent $udp0 #to broadcast i used this: $udp0 set dst_addr_ -1 $udp0 set dst_port_ 0 In the trace file seems to be right, but i dont know if only this change of address and port of destination is indeed a broadcast to all neighbors.
