29.1.1.0.3 Starting the Agent and Traffic Generator

The agent and the traffic generator must be started separately.

        {\bfseries{}\fcnref{$srm start}{../ns-2/srm.tcl}{Agent/SRM::start}}
        {\bfseries{}\fcnref{$exp0 start}{../ns-2/srm.tcl}{Agent/SRM::start-source}}

Alternatively, the traffic generator can be started from the SRM Agent:

        {\bfseries{}\fcnref{$srm0 start-source}{../ns-2/srm.tcl}{Agent/SRM::start-source}}

At start, the agent joins the multicast group, and starts generating session messages. The start-source triggers the traffic generator to start sending data.
