Incorporating Clustering techniques/algorithms in routing protocols in Qualnet

[kunrooney]

I am using Qualnet 4.5 aimulation tool.
I want to add node-clustering techniques in routing protocols like OLSR, AODV etc. The working of the protocol will remain the same but the only difference will be all the nodes in the network will form a cluster, based on certain metric. Once the cluster is formed, the protocol will function as normal.
Is it possible to do so?

Please Help!!

Yes it is possible. however the metric calculation have to be in a determined way.

Do i need to manipulate the .cpp and .h files of the protocol or is it possible to do it directly from the GUI?
Kindly elaborate!!..
I am trying this since a week but just couldn't find anything in user guide nor the programmer's guide.
