Re: [ns] RED : test-red-all failed after recompile ns with Nortel's Diffserv patch.

Hi,

For the past 2 days, I have tried the snapshot dated 20000720, 20000724,
20000726. The same problems, RED-test failed.

But I found out that ..the tests that failed differ for snapshots.

Sometimes the failure is 
    test-suite-red.tcl flows_forced
    test-suite-red.tcl flows_combined


or 

    test-suite-red.tcl flows_unforced
    test-suite-red.tcl flows_combined


I think it has nothing to do with Nortel's Diffserv patch ..
and I can't figure out when go wrong. So I wonder is it safe or is there a
problem with I run simulations ... with this particular ns.

When the failure affects my simulation results?
