route set-up for the sender to use forwarder

To make the "forwarder" experiment work, there needs an additional cautious procedure to update the routing table of the sender. Becuase both the sender and forwarder are associated with the receiver AP in the script, we need to let the sender to always use the forwarder to send packets to AP instead of sending directly to AP. This can be done by a perl script

#!/usr/bin/perl
system("ssh root\@node4-3 route add 12.0.0.7 gw 11.0.0.1");
