- This example demonstrates how to display active links in a network. An active
- link is created when a packet gets delivered directly from one node to another.
- Active links become inactive over time unless they are reinforced by new packets.
- The adhoc wireless network contains a source node, a destination node, and a
- number of intermediate nodes. The source node continuously pings the destination
- node while all nodes move around randomly.
- If you run the dynamic example in express mode until 2s, then you should see a
- number of black arrows between the network nodes showing the currently active
- links. These active links represent the communication that happened between the
- DYMO routing protocols to determine the route from the source node to the
- destination. After the route has been established, it is used for a while
- without sending further routing protocol packets. If you continue the simulation
- in fast mode until 10s, then you should see how these links fade away and become
- inactive. Meanwhile the source node continuously sends ping packets to the
- destination node through the established route. This is shown by the arrows
- representing the active links along the route.
