I used ns2 simulator to create trace files in two formats from tdma simulation.
1) old wireless format 2) new wireless format I usually feed this to "tracegraph" to get my results and plot them. I have been looking for custom AWK/PERL scripts to write those analysis myself. In the old wireless format , with some simple counts and pattern matching, i can find the generated packets, dropped packets and bytes, forwarded packets and bytes. But sent packets: i couldnt find anyway that matches with the output from the tracegraph file. And when i run the same scripts for the new wireless format .. [ i mean the idea same with counts ] , most of the parameters differ. Basically, i have to come up with scripts to calculate average delay, variation in delays (or jitter), throughput in bits per seconds, packets generated/sent/forwarded/dropped. Is there any available scripts already, or any documentation that can lead me to find the exact definition of how to calculate these.[ in the new wireless format ]. I tried this link http://mailman.isi.edu/pipermail/ns-users/2004-September/044669.html from the archives, but no luck. Thanks
