Description Josh Pelkey 2010-03-09 13:18:09 EST 
A cause for concern since merging nix-vector code in ns-3.6, the nix-vector pointer in Packet should be removed.  See the comments in packet.h:

/* Note: These functions support a temporary solution 
 * to a specific problem in this generic class, i.e. 
 * how to associate something specific like nix-vector 
 * with a packet.  This design methodology 
 * should _not_ be followed, and is only here as an 
 * impetus to fix this general issue. */
