Hi everybody,
I would like to know what is the easiest way to send a packet in a network environment in NS2 and measure the associated delay. For example, let us suppose that I have defined the network described at http://nile.wpi.edu/NS/simple_ns.html. With the scripting code in that web page, I can set up the topology indicated in the figure. Now, how can I just simulate sending a packet of X bytes from node n1 to node n2? My goal is to simulate the sending of this packet and obtain the delay involved. Later, maybe I will need to send another packet and measure again the delay involved. And so on. Is there an easy way of doing this? My final goal is the following. I will define a network topology with NS2 and then I need to interact dynamically with the ns2 simulator from a Java program in order to obtain the delays to apply for different communications between nodes. I think this should not be difficult. Thanks in advance for any suggestion, Sergio
