I am new to Omnet++. Although I have tried some basic examples such as Tic-Toc and Source-Sink, I cannot figure out how to implement more sophisticated networks.
Problem : I want to implement Ad Hoc Network. I have tried examples given in INET but they only ping each other and reply. They do not exchange actual messages. I want my network to have actual information in form of messages and then communicate these messages through ad hoc network to different nodes. Please help!!
You should be fine with the examples in inet/examples/adhoc/ieee80211 and inet/examples/manetrouting.
As for 'real' traffic. You are free to configure any traffic type you wish in the hosts. Pinging is just an example. Take a look at inet/examples/inet/udpburst to see how burting UDP traffic is configured.
Traffic generated by the applications inside a hosts are totally independent of how they are communicating (just as in real life). I can ping and run a browser equally with both a wireless and a wired connection.
i.e. you CAN combine the different examples.
