[ns] Results interpretation
Hi everybody,
i've just begun running simulations with NS,
i don't know how to get informations from the
simulations' results; to be more specific:
* how can i read trace files ?
all the simulations that i've run included a call
to either NAM or XGRAPH, so the output of the simulation
was an animation or a graph, i would like to get to read
something like
+ 1.39117 3 4 exp 1000 ------- 0 0.0 4.0 13 159
+ 1.394 3 4 cbr 1000 ------- 1 1.0 4.0 86 160
d 1.394 3 4 cbr 1000 ------- 1 1.0 4.0 86 160
- 1.394 3 4 exp 1000 ------- 0 0.0 4.0 9 147
r 1.396 3 4 cbr 1000 ------- 1 1.0 4.0 81 145
+ 1.39969 3 4 exp 1000 ------- 2 2.0 4.0 60 161
* XGRAPH : wich quantities can be displayed ?
for instance, in Marc Greis' tutorial i've found
proc record {} {....
...................
set bw0 [$sink0 set bytes_]
............ }
Are bytes and packets the only quantities i can record ?
Can i record the parameters that characterize an agent ?
(for example, can i record the quantity cwnd of a TCP agent ?)
* NAM : what data can i collect by watching a NAM animation ?
how do i have to read the sequence of lines that appears
by clicking on a link and selecting the bandwidth of the link ?
* Am i ignoring other ways to interpret the output of a simulation ?
If i have to add some lines to my scripts i would appreciate if
someone sent me some of his own tcl scripts.
Please help me !!!
Thanks in advance,
Andrea Josi.
