15.3 The Expanded Node-Address Format

NOTE: Please note that this command is now obsolete given that node address and port address spaces are 32 bits wide.

On the event of requirement of more bits to the address space, the expanded address API may be used as:

$ns set-address-format expanded

This expands the address space to 30 bits, allocating 22 higher bits to node-id and lower 8 bits to port-id.
