Port to a modern Omnet++ version #1

Hey, thanks for developing ptp-sim.

In your forum you mention that porting to a modern version is on the roadmap.

What's needed for this to happen?

Hi monokles,

I started a discussion thread for that topic in the development forum. I haven't had time to look into that task yet, but there is a list of API changes for different OMNeT++ releases. I guess we have to go through that list an apply the relevant changes to our projects.

LibPTP depends on the OMNeT_Utils project. OMNeT_Utils has no further dependencies and should be easy to port. Another dependency for LibPTP is the INET project, which also has improved since the time when LibPTP was released. Porting LibPTP might get tricky, as we need to port to a new OMNeT++ and INET release.

Any help is welcome to get that task done! :)

regards, Wolfgang
