I see. But please be aware that NS2 requires a lot of effort to be able to
do anything. In my case, I've even spend a lot of weeks for even putting the
contributed software to compile.

I've volunteered to upgrade the NS2 tutorial, but cannot do this in the very
short term. You can trust that such will be the first thing I'll look, when
I can.
You can send me the .tcl file for TCP and DCCP, and I'll look into it
faster.

I'm talking of dumping more trace information to the file, of application
layer and other layers also. Such is selectable in the NS2 tracing
facilities.
