Hello everybody! I'm working with ns-2.29 on Mandriva 2006 and i'm working on a new protocol implementation, following the tutorial "Implementing a New Manet Unicast Routing Protocol in NS2" by Francisco Ros and Pedro Ruiz. At the paragraph 4.3.5 it shows the implementation of send_protoname_pkt() function and it shows how to send a packet introducing some jitter. My question is: why do they introduce jitter? Is it absolutely necessary? Could the packet be sent without jitter and how? I know that jitter is the variation in time between packets ariving..... isn't it more efficient to send packets at a constant interval? Please someone explain this to me, it is VERY IMPORTANT. Thank you in advance! Regards, Alexandra
