[ns] reactive routing protocols in WSNs
Al Salamo Alikom Dears, I have a question, it seems some theoretical, in WSNs, is reactive (on-demand) routing protocols more suitable for mobile networks and shouldn't use (or has less benefits) for static network? Is it feasible for a WSN to be static in real life?!! isn't deployed in a harsh environment and have no specific location!! Thanks in advance

Re: [ns] [NS-ANS] counting control packet in trace file
Al Salamo Alikom,
Here is the AWK calculation of total_RTRpackets_sent, the control packets
sent by the RTR
#defining the variables to be used to store every field in the trace line
event = $1;
layer = $4;
if(event != N) {

if(event == s || event == f)

total_RTRpackets_sent++;

As it is a free-will, we can agree on rules which enhance the asking process! we have two ways: 1- after his problem is solved the asker is responsible for forwarding the detailed answer (only one detailed full answer). 2- those who answered even if a partial answer, send the answer to all not in private. (so we will have many of partial answers by compiling them we can get the full answer). else this archiving is useless and becomes full of repeated questions with no answers! and if we lost the active members here, the list will die :) it is just a suggestion!

When I see someone like this, I never answer his questions, because he domonstrate that haven't search anything. By the way, I think this list is for more elaborate questions, so I answer that questions when I have the answer.

[ns] NS-Users Q-process Guideline
Salam Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh, Dears NS-Users According to our discussion in the mail of a subject [VIP] Discussion, We agreed on these guidelines to effectively manage the question's process on this mailing list Here is the rules: (please mention, if I forget a thing) --- *1- To minimize the trivial question, the asker should search the archiving first to find the answer else if doesn't exist, kindly pay some efforts and time to google for the answer else send here!* * * *2- The answer of elaborated questions will be sent for the all user not only the asker with a tag [NS-ANS]* * * *3- Homework and college's assignment are prevented to be solved here, only if a guidance for a piece of work.* That's all, hope to follow these rules for good utilizing this list, and thanks a lot for all active members for participating in expressing this guideline. At the end, we would like to thank Mohit Tahiliani for start following the rules on his reply [ns] [NS-ANS]: how to change the node color with energy consumption Thanks dears, hope the best for all of you Mariam
[ns] [VIP] Discussion
Salam Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh, Dears NS2 users, Shortly, in our archive we have a lot of questions and few of them are attached with thier answers!! Also as an open community we rely on the existance of expert and active persons.. due to the dynamic nature of this mailing list we need to arrange the process of asking and answering a question here is an initial suggestion and the subject is open for discussion.. what is about the person who ask the question and get a full and correct answer, S/he is the responsible to thank the list by forward the answer after it works. depending in the honesty on the memebers! what do you see?? Thanks Mariam

Re: [ns] Why do we have this group?
Fine, I suggest two method we can follow
1- All reply for all.
2- All relpy in perivate and then the person who was asking the question,
gather the replys and forward them as an answer of that question (we will
only have one collected reply).
//may be use a tag in the subject of the reply mail as {ANSWER}.
Thanks in advance

Hi Fellow NS2ers,
Personally I prefer to see answers for everything as it may be relevent at
some
point.
Anand, you can do what I (and may be many de here), have a special folder
setup
with every email with the Subject NS2 being forwarded to it so your
general
inbox does not get flooded with it. I am glad to know that there are people
answer becuase I posted 2 questions (figured the answer of the first one
though) and didn't get answers and I saw just questions so I thought no one
is
answering here.
but yea I would personally like seeing all answers so everyone has
reference
incase they run into similar issues. I think I saw two more posts sharing
the
same likes.
After all, good luck everyone in your research!

Hi,
I answer to people in this group regularly (as much as I can). But usually,
I
just do it to avoid others who have to receive the answers which are
relevant to
their interest.
There is no guideline on the use of this mailing list. If there is one and
it
says that most (if not all) answers should be replied to ALL, I'll be glad
to do
so.
What do you guys think?

[ns] AOMDV vs AODV
Al Salamo Alikom Dears, While I am simulating AOMDV vs AODV with a security module (the network has 10% malicious nodes which drop the transmitted packets), I get a strange behavior. I notice that AODV over-performs AOMDV in terms of packet delivery ratio, latency and routing overhead, which violates the theory. Could you give me a reason? Thanks in advance Mariam
