[ns] LossMonitor



Hello
 
I use LossMonitor to measure the bandwidth in a link.
I attach the loss monitor to a node and starting watching
the following variables :
 
 bytes_ = 0;
 last_packet_time_ = 0.;
 seqno_ = 0;
 
I obtained the following data in chronological order:
 
seqno_    bytes_       last_packet_time_
=====     =====      =============
1253        1070000    156.855
1256        1071000    157.095
623          589000      157.015
1263        1077000    157.895
627          592000      157.975
 
I check the source code that the bytes_ is accumulating the packet size every time a packet is received.
I don't understand the sudden drop in packet 623, 627
 
Is that the seqno_ is not in order ? If so, what does the last_packet_time_ indicate ?
 
Could someone please give me some hints ?
 
Thank you very much.
Bye.
