Re: NS Agent

Hi Michael,

We are currently working on documentation.  You can find some
notes on the OTcl/C++ linkage in http://www.isi.edu/Tcl.ps.Z.
(Cleaned up versions of this documentation are coming).

You can also find five different example scripts in the
tcl/ex directory (srm.tcl, srm-chain.tcl, srm-star.tcl,
srm-adapt-re{pq}.tcl).  Notes on these are in srm.txt in that
directory.

Briefly, the code is structured to use an external agent to
generate traffic; the C++ code will perform sending/reciept of
all messages, loss detection, and processing of session messages.
Error recovery and control over when to send control messages
(request/repair/session messages) is done via Tcl in srm.tcl.
Adaptive timers, described in Floyd etal., sigcomm95 is in
srm-adaptive.tcl.

Notes on the SRM implementation are in the pipe as well.
