Hi,all,
        I want to experiment source route with click, that is, I need to
write a list of addresses to IP header options. I hope each packet will be
forwarded according to the list of addresses in the IP header options. I
want to kown if click may implement source route or not. In addition, I am
study a network protocol named AR, this protocol's header includes seven
parts, the first part is type of this protocol, the second part is protocol
version, the third part is length of header, the forth part is next-as,
next-as is offset pointing to next-hop, the fifth part is doffset pointing
to data, the sixth part stores a list of addresses, one of addresses is
pointed by offset, the seventh part stores data.
      a router receivering a message will judge this message is IP or AR
packet. if this message is a AR packet, this router modifies offset and
point to a new address included in address area in AR header, or a new AR
header will be added to this IP packet.
     I have no idea how to use click to implement this protocol, I really
hope someone may help me with this problem. all suggestions are wellcom.
Best wishes,
messi
