[ndnSIM] How can application detect change in point of attachment to the Internet

[Monika Dangi]

Thank you Lixia Zhang for your reply.
well my problem is the producer is mobile, and i want the producer
application to know when the point of attachment to a router is changed so
that the retransmission timer is set accordingly. Is there any function in
ns3/mobility-module.h or in the ns3/wifi-module.h( perhaps in
YansWifiPhyHelper ) that returns the node id of the router to which the
mobile node ( producer ) is attached????  The scenario is, there is a grid
of nodes and an mobile node which is moving randomly in any direction and
may get attached to any grid node and starts sending packet.

i just want to know the time till a mobile node stays attached to a
router(grid node), so i thought if there is any function in
ns3/mobility-module.h or ns3/wifi-module.h, that can tell the current
attached router node's id then i can calculate the time mobile node stays
attached to a router.
i hope you understand the scenario.
Thank-you
