[ns] Ping protocol in greis's tutorial

Been busy with moving to a new lab.. anyway, was checking some of the online site for ns2 earlier, I found this email quite interesting since I faced the same problem some time ago..

Hi Ramya,

I'm using ns2.28 and I know that packet headers management changed a
little bit so the Marc Greis Tutorial could not work anymore.

Now, to add you new packet you have to :
- add you packet name to the enum structure containing packet names in
packet.h (under Common directory) (sorry I don't remeber its name)
- add the name of you packet as it should appears intraces in the same
file (another class just below the enum structure in the same file).

- define an offset and an access () method in the header structure of
you new agent like this :

struct hdr_newAgent{

// Contents of a newAgent message
double send_time;
double weight;
....
// Header access methods
static int offset_; // required by PacketHeaderManager
inline static int& offset() { return offset_; }
inline static hdr_newAgent* access(const Packet* p) {
return (hdr_newAgent*) p->access(offset_);
}

};


notice also that accessing the header of a protocol changed. So for
example to access the IP headerof a received packet, you should do :

struct hdr_ip *ih = HDR_IP(p);

where HDR_IP(p) is defined as:
#define HDR_IP(p) ((struct hdr_ip*)hdr_ip::access(p)).
and access(p) is the inline method of struct hdr_ip.

I think this is all,
Hope this helps.

Bye.
