Re: [ns] Wireless + Exponential/Pareto Traffic Generator doubt

Hi Brian,
Thanks for the information and help.
The Expo and Pareto agents work well in case of wired
network[ref. tcl/ex/tg.tcl]. So I guess the cmu
extension is not handling it properly is right
conclusion in cmu-trace.cc there is nothing for
PT_EXPO/PR_PARETO. But even in trace.cc I could not
find any special treatment for Expo/Pareto agents. So
how the things are getting handled in wired network
properly ? is trace.cc the right file to look ?

Another basic question is: Wwere Expo/Pareto agents
never tested in Wireless model ?

Regards,
-Sameer.
