I had this halfbaked idea of looking at randomized topologies for  
protocol evaluation as picking points in one large multidimensional  
parameter space. There are some math techniques for finding the  
interesting points in such a parameter space, but you'd need the  
hardware to run a LOT of ns2 experiments in parallel. I wonder if  
DETER has spare capacity?

And the danger remains that for any given proposal, the interesting  
stuff happens outside of the chosen parameter space...
