Subject: [MANET] What is AODV packet processing delay in NS2?

Hi All,

In the CMU distribution of AODV implementation on NS2, a NODE_TRAVERSAL_TIME is defined as "the estimation of average one hop traversal time for packets", which "include queueing delays, interrupt processing time and tranfer time".  I wonder, is this time the simulated packet relaying delay between nodes?  Or, is this value just used to calculate the RREP_WAIT_TIME?
For example, if I set NODE_TRAVERSAL_TIME to be 30ms, does this mean the time between an RREQ packet is "sent from one node" to "received at the next relaying node" is 30ms? 
Thank you for helping!

Cheers,
Leiyuan Li
