[ns] Broadcasting a UDP ns2.34 802.11Ext

Hi,

I want to broadcast a packet using an udp agent. I found some solutions at
this maillist but
neither satisfactory.

I just want to send broadcast packet from 1 node to another 2 nodes in his
range. My idea was
change the dst ip to -1 and dst port to 0 because i saw somewhere that is
the way to broadcast.

I'm using the 802.11Ext model of MAC, the new module of the NS 2.34

Well, I made this way:

set udp0 [new Agent/UDP]
$ns attach-agent $node $udp0
set cbr2 [new Application/Traffic/CBR]

$cbr2 set packetSize_ 128
$cbr2 set interval_ 0.015
$cbr2 set random_ 1
$cbr2 set maxpkts_ 1000

$cbr2 attach-agent $udp0

#to broadcast i used this:
$udp0 set dst_addr_ -1
$udp0 set dst_port_ 0

In the trace file seems to be right, but i dont know if only this change of
address and port of destination
is indeed a broadcast to all neighbors.

First lines of trace file:
