Re: Going back in time?



Have you modified anything in NS code?
I've had this problem becouse of incorrect calls to Scheduler::schedule.
If something schedule an event with a time already gone (minus than
current time of the scheduler), the Scheduler::dispatch will generate
that message.
I've solved my problems debugging with a breakpoint in scheduler.cc line
99 ( fprintf(stderr, "ns: scheduler going backwards in time from %f to
%f.\n", clock_, t); ), and than with backtrace to find the incorrect
scheduling.
Hope this helps,

Max
