Thanks for the tip. I've even found an example on a previous msg of this mailling list:
" ... set udp0 [new Agent/UDP] $ns attach-agent $n(1) $udp0 set null0 [new Agent/Null] $ns attach-agent $n(2) $null0 $ns connect $udp0 $null0 # create 16 Paroto On/Off source traffic for {set i 0} { $i < 16} {incr i} { set par($i) [new Application/Traffic/Pareto] $par($i) set rate_ [expr 64*4]k $par($i) set packetsize_ 210 $par($i) set burst_time_ 500ms $par($i) set idle_time_ 50ms $par($i) attach-agent $udp0 $ns at 0.5 "$par($i) start" } " thanks, Pedro Fortuna INESC Porto On 8/4/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > If you want to simulate VoIP traffic you could also use the Paretto > generator, I think it will simulate bursty VoIP more precisely than > Exponential. > > Douglas Nascimento - UFRGS > > Quoting Pedro Fortuna <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > > > I assume that there's a correlation, because two people do not talk > > exactly at the same time.
