[ns] which trace format is more accurate?

2006-04-15 Thread Sasan Sahraei

Hi All,

I am generating both trace formats (old and new) for the exact same
simulation, and for instance I count total number of messages sent as
below (in my awk file)

$1~/s/  /AGT/  { sent ++; }

but I get two different results

now I wonder, which one of the trace files are accurate? which one should
I pick? the version is 2.29.

I'll appreciate your advice.

Thanks,
Sasan





Re: [ns] Running nam on cygwin

2006-04-15 Thread Tuhin Kanti Sharma

Thnx everyone for their help, my nam indeed is working.
I am not aware whether I am using a linux server with or without ssh , I m
using cygwin on windows XP. Also
export DISPLAY=localhost:0 is working, but for this you need two terminals
and 1 terminal should connect with the other.
I did modify startxwin.bat but I think it isn't starting nam at startup so I
dont know the correct way.

  Hello Tuhin Kanti Sharma,
 
  You are probably trying to use NS on a linux server with ssh. Am I
  wrong? Anyway, typing the following commands in your console should help
  you a lot:
  export DISPLAY = localhost:0
 
  and if you are using ssh, please use the option -Y after having set the
  DISPLAY variable with the previous command, for example::
  ssh -Y -l mydistantlogin mydistantcomputername
 
  Mit freundlichen Grüßen, with kind regards, cordialement,

[ns] R: which trace format is more accurate?

2006-04-15 Thread Marco Fiore

Sasan,

both versions of tracefile report the same information.
The 
difference only lies in the format (actually, the
new trace format is 
somehow more complete).
So they are accurate in the same way, but the 
point
is that you can't use the same awk script on both!
You have to 
write two versions of you awk script,
and then you'll get the same 
results.

Regards,

Marco Fiore

[ns] tracing a 50 nodes aodv simulation

2006-04-15 Thread Alexandra Cioroianu

Hello ns users!
 I'm using ns2.29 and i want to make a simulation of a 50 nodes MANET scenario, 
using AODV as the routing protocol. I want to get an xgraph representation of 
the bandwidth, packet delivery ratio, traffic(number of packets, routing tables 
sent between nodes) and delay. My tcl file is in the aodv directory and i have  
written the finish and record procedures for xgraph, but i get the 
segmentation fault error and i can't figure out what's wrong...
 Here is the attached tcl file. If someone has done something similar or knows 
about this, please tell me what's wrong and how can i fix it. How to analize 
the trace file and get the data that i need? How can i make the graphical 
representation of the packet delivery ratio, traffic and delay?
 Please help!
 Regards, Alexandra

[ns] in the trace file the lines are just a messages udp or cbr

2006-04-15 Thread www triste

hello
  thank you for your reponse,i would like to ask you a question,the trace file 
its contain juste the cbr or tcp messages,or this contain the HELLO and TC 
messages also.
  because i remarque that the nombre of paquets receive is more than the number 
of paquets send and i think its not logical.
  other think;i would like to know if adressing its very importante,and for 
having an ideas of the nombre of paquets receive by a node,i must to count de 
number of adress apears in trace file,and not the number of node apears 
,because the node can be juste a router of message,and not the real destinantion
  Thank you for your help;thanks

[ns] having problem in Link layer issues

2006-04-15 Thread Shafiq Hashmi

Hello everyone,

I am trying to modify LEACH code, which is a cluster-oriented sensor network 
protocol. It uses CDMA technique, using different code for each 
cluster-node/cluster-head-node communication and cluster-head-nodes/Base 
Station (BS) communication. In the protocol the CHs (cluster head nodes) 
communicate directly with the BS, while I am trying to let the CHs 
communicate with other CHs before reaching BS, i.e. hop-by-hop communication 
between CH-BS link.

But when I try to send the packet from one CH to the other nearest CH, other 
CH doesnot receive it. Rather it is lost somewhere in the Link Layer (ll) 
methods which are scheduled by the cluster head at one point. I could not 
figure out link layer methods, how they work, which methods they call, they 
schedule further uptarget_ and downtarget_ instances, which I could never 
trace.

Can anybody help i this regard? How to track this uptarget_ and downtarget_ 
instances defined in ll.h and ll.cc?

waiting eagerly for any help.

Thanx
Shafiq 




[ns] Network Simulator Questions

2006-04-15 Thread Faisal Siddiqui

Hi,

I have been investigating NS2 for research purposes for the last several
weeks. I have a very basic question and would really appreciate if you could
shed some valuable light on it.

I really stepped through each line of the code but can't really find when
and where the simulator assigns source and destination node addresses to the
packets. Could someone please explain in some detail how, when and where the
packets are assigned source and destination node addresses and from where
does the packets learn this information? Also, if there are more than 3
nodes (in case of ping agent), how does the packet establishes the source
and the destination nodes for traffic because in the Tcl script we only
connect the agents and do not specify the source and destination nodes.

Secondly, function access (some argument) is spread all over the code. I
went through the manual as well but can't really understand why it is being
used in so many places. Could someone please explain what is the purpose of
using this function and how does this function when cast into different data
types provides information?

Thanks,
 - Faisal Siddiqui


[ns] help with gcc/cygwin

2006-04-15 Thread Muhammad Usman

Hi,
  I need to install an implementation of HCCA mode of 802.11e for ns2. After 
spending a week of trying to install Qiang Ni's and University of Pisa's 
implementation on both cygwin/windows or linux I still haven't got far. I have 
run into errors after errors.
   
  Apparently the latest error in cygwin is that of tclcl-mappings.h file 
related with something about incomplete declaration of tcl..  
   
  On linux. theres the problem of tk3d.c with error messages of symbol 
dx.. already defined etc etc
   
  I don't know why getting a running 802.11e HCCA is so complicated...
   
  Anyways, the main problem that I have found out after browsing the net is 
that the gcc compiler 3 or above has some problems so what is usually 
recommended is to downgrade to gcc 2.95 for ns
   
  Can someone please list the simple steps for installing/downgrading the 
gcc2.95 for cygwin
   
  Regards.
