DSR using Click??

[Harit Patel]

Hey Eddie,
 
Hi, I am a student at CMU where we are currently looking into developing
an ad-hoc network using the Click router. 
 
I wanted to ask you a few questions regarding the same. 
 
1.	What are the exact specifications of the system that you guys
use. (Linux versions and distributions) 
2.	We want to implement an ad-hoc routing protocol and since DSR
seems to be the simplest to implement, we are planning to start off with
that. I was wondering if you knew of any previous implementations of DSR
using Click. Also I am still trying to understand the click system and I
do not know how powerful it is. Can I define the full functionality of a
DSR node (also a router right) using the click language? Using graphs
and configurations files? Or will I have to implement a DSR kernel level
module. In the case of developing a kernel module wouldn't using the
normal Linux TCP IP stack be easier? 
3.	I want to use Click and get familiar with it and so I was
wondering how I could go by implementing DSR using Click.
 
 
I hope I have been able to explain out intentions to you. If you think
you need more information, please do let me know. Thanks,
 
Regards,
