Epidemic Routing

This is an ns-2 simulation of a wireless routing system that uses an epidemic algorithm to flood the network.

The final version of the Epidemic Routing ns-2 implementation is here:

epi-ns-src.tar.gz

The allinone file contains the ported code and a complete ns distribution for ns-2.1b7a

epi_src.ns-allinone-2.1b7a.tar.gz

With ns-2 included, this code can still be recompiled even if you don't have that version of ns-2. It was developed and tested in in FreeBSD 4.1. There is an example, under Epi_Example, so you can start experimenting with the code right away. BTW, the implementation still has some memory leaks (but it is quite usable).
