Re: [ns] Difference between 8Gb and 8000Mb?

[Bo Wen <bowen@mail.wsu.edu>]

No..., what I mean is bandwidth, not storage size.  For
bandwidth, they shouble be same.  My question might not
be clear:

In my simulation, I defined all links with 8Gb, run ns;
defined all links with 8000Mb, run ns again.  I just found
the latter is much faster (I guess abround 100 times) than
the former.

Why, is that possible the variable (bind_bw) binding problem?

Thanks,

Bo
