Re:[ns] undecriptable trace file

[Federico <orlandini.federico@iol.it>]

Hi Fabienne ,
to find a particular event in a trace file you have to know where it
happens. For example, if i want to trace the event "transmission of a
packet from the source XYZ " , i need to know at which node the source
XYZ is attached ( for example , node 5 ). So , i have to search the
event " dequeued from node 5 " in the trace file. The event "dequeued"
is rapresented by a "-" in the trace file (the first field in a single
line of a trace file ) .
In your trace file you can see the event at time 10.006371 the packet
number 2 is dequeued from node 1 ( it is transmitted from node 1 to node
0 on a link ) , if node 1 is your transmitter then this is an event
"transmission from the source" !
Try to see the NS'manual , page 138 . Here you can find the mean of each
element in a trace file.

I wish this can help you.
Bye and good work.
Federico
