Hi,
In NS2, generating a new packet is not that complicated. Class Packet has a function alloc() which returns a pointer to the created packet. You may find the detail in file ~/ns/common/packet.h. At the receiving end, you may process the packet in the function recv(p,h), where p is a pointer to a packet. There is a detailed packets (Chapter 8) and function recv(p,h) (Chapter 5) can be found in the following book from Springer: T. Issaraiyakul and E. Hossain, "Introduction to Network Simulator NS2", Springer 2008. Here is the link: http://www.springer.com/engineering/signals/book/978-0-387-71759-3 You might also find the following slide useful: http://www.ece.ubc.ca/~teerawat/NS2.htm<http://www.ece.ubc.ca/%7Eteerawat/NS2.htm> Best, Teerawat On 10/28/2008, "Prajjwal Devkota" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >Hi everyone, > >I am thinking of generating packets on certain queue events.
