Fw: [ns] throughput calculation



Hi Susan and Liu
        If using the LossMonitor doesn't give me the required throughput then how do I go about calculating it?
Do I have to calculate it from the trace file without considering the retransmissions? Is there any simpler method?
        Thanks a lot.
 
Sincerely

TCP packets requires ACK. However, LossMonitor agent does not generate ACK.
TCP sender will wait for a period of timeout before retransmitting the packet. And
for every timeout, the 'timeout value' increases. So the 4 packets you see are probably
4 retransmission.
