packet headers and packetsizes
Hello,
I am creating a new packet header.
According to the "ns Notes and Documentation" section 10.1.1 - I need
to:
1. create a new structure defining the raw fields
2. define member functions for needed fields.
3. create a static class to perform OTcl linkage
4. edit ~ns/tcl/lib/ns-packet.tcl to enable new packet format
However, I noticed that in "ns-default.tcl", there are several places
where, in addition to the above, the "packetSize_" variable is set for
a particular protocol.
So, here is my question:
Do I have to create an entry in "ns-default.tcl" similar to the
following:
Agent/My_Protocol set packetSize_ 64
And, if I do, what is the unit size of the "packetSize_" variable?
Bytes? Bits?
Sincerely,
Julio
