Hi, I want to begin to trace the number of queue departuring packets or dropping packets later after simulation has run.but i fail to reset bdepartures_ variable to zero. Can any one help me? I use the following script sentences: set l [ $ns link $r1 $r2] ... $ns at $tracestart "$l set bdepartures_ 0" $ns at $tracestart "$l set bdrops_ 0" Thanks. Yiqun
