	I presume that the question of Dafir was quite different. 

	a) If you want to monitor the number of packets traversing a link,
use the flow monitor.

	b) As for Dafir (if I understood well his question). He wants to
monitor the waiting time at the nodes and so on. The brute force method is
to extract the information needed from the trace files produced by the
simulation. For each link and packet, you have the enqueue and dequeue
times. From this information, it is straightforward to extract whatever
you need.
