hi, everyone,
In chapter 12 of THE NS MANUAL, the author wrote that "By default, ns
includes ALL packet headers of ALL protocols in EVERY packet in your
simulation. This is a LOT of overhead ..."
But i find that many ns tutorials, experiments never mentioned this
problem. my question is, Is it necessary to remove the unnecessary headers when
we are doing simulations, especially when need to calculate delays and
throughputs? Is the BIG unnecessary headers affect the packet transmit
time(when calculate the timeout of the event, are the length of all headers
taken into account )?
Thank you in advance!
