RE: Question on mac-test.tcl

["Laura-Lei Liu" <liul@nortelnetworks.com>]

Thanks for the reply.

I looked into ns-lib.tcl file, there is a line " source ../lan/vlan.tcl".
But
 "source ../lan/ns-lan.tcl" and "source ../lan/ns-mac.tcl" are there
ahead of it. I tried "source ../lan/vlan.tcl" in mac-test.tcl, it give me
the same error message.

I would like to know what the following error message means:

	 _o18: unable to dispatch method trace
	 while executing
	"$lan trace $ns $trfd "
	(file "./mac-test.tcl" line 160)

Thanks in advance!!
