Marco, This is the exact point,
the difference is about 300 to 400 for 100 sec sim time I reran the same simulation and all I did was to change the trace format, but I see such a difference in number of sent $1~/s/ && /AGT/ { sent ++; } any comments? both running on the same machine. all the equipment and environment settings are the same. you might be able to reproduce it easily.
