Re: Problems with FTP maxpkts

[Cristiano Santoni <cris72_99@yahoo.it>]

I mean there is an unending stream of packets until the FTP source is
stopped by :
	$ns at 5.0 "$ftp0 stop"
Here is a piece of the source code:
        set tcp0 [new Agent/TCP]
	$tcp0 set segsize_ 1000
	set tcp1 [new Agent/TCPSink]
	$ns attach-agent $n(0) $tcp0
	$ns attach-agent $n(1) $tcp1
	$ns connect $tcp0 $tcp1
	.............................
        #FTP source
        set ftp0 [new Application/FTP]
	set ftp0 maxpkts 1
        $ftp0 attach-agent $tcp0
        $ns at 0.0 "$ftp0 start"
        $ns at 5.0 "$ftp0 stop"

I expected only one packet to be set by $ftp0, but the source
transmits continuously from 0.0 to 5.0.
Where is the error?
Thanks in advance,
Cristiano
