7.4 Commands at a glance

Following is a list of queue commands used in simulation scripts:

$ns_ queue-limit n1 n2 limit
This sets a limit on the maximum buffer size of the queue in the link between nodes <n1> and <n2>.

$ns_ trace-queue n1 n2 optional:file
This sets up trace objects to log events in the queue. If tracefile is not passed, it uses traceAllFile_ to write the events.

$ns_ namtrace-queue n1 n2 optional:file
Similar to trace-queue above, this sets up nam-tracing in the queue.

$ns_ monitor-queue n1 n2 optional:qtrace optional:sampleinterval
