Nam is a network simulation that does more than representing a network 
topology. For example, you can have a node comes up at t=1 (instead of 
t=0), start moving around until t=5, etc.

For the purpose of our project, all nodes come up at t=0, and stay 
forever. So you can just keep the "-t *" part.
