Processing Delay

[Yukio Hashimoto <yukio@ccultra2.u-aizu.ac.jp>]

Hi ns-users:

I want to make an agent who processes:
 
  1. Receive a packet
  2. create new packets and send them (segmentation)
  3. apply a processing delay and do nothing
  4. goto 1. (receive next packet)

I used Timer for processing delay, but I have a problem.

If the processing delay is long er than incomming packet interval,
the agent receive packets, create packets, and send them during
processing delay time.

The agent must do nothing during processing delay.
If  new packets come to the agent, agent should process them after
processing delay time.

Does anyone know how to solve the problem?

Thank  you in advance.
