e) Equal-cost multipath for global routing: Enables quagga's equal |

|
185 |
||
186 |
h) Ipv4::IsDestinationAddress method added to support checks of whether a |

Warning: among API changes in this release, Application::Start and |
665 |
Application::Stop now interprets the time argument as a relative |
|
666 |
instead of absolute simulation time, to align with how Simulator::Schedule |
|
667 |
behaves. Any code that calls these APIs in the middle of the simulation |
|
668 |
will need to be adapted. |
|
669 |
||
670 |
The API of Simulator::StopAt (time) has also changed. Now it is |
|
671 |
called Simulator::Stop (time), and takes a relative time, instead of |
|
672 |
absolute. |
