AdhocHost

compound module

A wireless host containing routing, mobility and energy components. Supports IPv4 network protocol, TCP, UDP, and SCTP as transport protocol. This is a typical mobile node which can participate in adhoc routing and may have TCP/UDP applications installed. Supports ICMP (ping) too.
