Hi, According to the manual -Hd represents the next hop towards the destination.
In my trace file -Hd is mainlly equal to -2. i.e. r -t 30.106683874 -Hs 44 -Hd -2 -Ni 44 -Nx 1254.06 -Ny 25.52 -Nz 0.00 -Ne -1.000000 -Nl RTR -Nw --- -Ma 0 -Md ffffffff -Ms 2e -Mt 800 -Is 46.255 -Id -1.255 -It AODV -Il 48 -If 0 -Ii 0 -Iv 2 -P aodv -Pt 0x2 -Ph 4 -Pb 6 -Pd 3 -Pds 13 -Ps 2 -Pss 16 -Pc REQUEST What does this mean? why the node id is -2? why is it negative? also, I am trying to calculate the path optimality and movement pattern file is created using setdest. The god object is showing the # of hops between two nodes at a point of time, but I don't know (from the trace) how to see the number of times a packet has been travered in order to perform a comparison. Does anyone know any good way to do this? Thanks, Sasan
