[Click] click and satellite emulation

Dear All,

I'm actually working in a project where a quite complex
network architecture is under investigation.
To do so, I'm interfacing a Click-based IP router (a commodity PC)
with a number of concurrent NS-3 emulators (running concurrently
onto a single multicore server platform), each
simulating a different portion of the overall network
and injecting/gathering traffic to the other portions
via the IP router. I'm actually emulating a wifi network, and
a wimax network, the traffic sources and receivers.
But, other technologies are to get used within the infrastructure,
in particular a DVB-RCS satellite.
Unfortunately, there's no available model for a satellite link
in NS-3. Before I start by arranging something similar to a sat link
 by myself, however, I think toI remember that a year ago (or maybe more),
someone (Roman Chertov ?) wrote something
about satellite emulation within a Click configuration to the list  .

So, my question for Roman and for anyone who has ever
faced this problem is: is there anything (modules, configs) freely
available to use ?

Thanks in advance for your help !
