Dear all, In my ns-2 simulation, I am trying to compute control packets overhead for a given topology of 50 nodes. I was Thinking that DSR agent communicates three types of packets, namely route requests(traced with -Pq 1), route reply (traced with -Pp 1) and route error(traced with -Pw 1). But to my surprise, I am getting traces of some other packets which has -Pq =-Pp=-Pw=0, and still they are mentioned as DSR packets. I am pasting some portion of my trace file for example. Does any body know what are these packets all about? Please inform. This is really very important for me.
These are configuration parameters listed in my trace file: Sconfig 0.00000 *tap: on snoop*: rts? on errs? on Sconfig 0.00000 *salvage: on* !bd replies? on Sconfig 0.00000 *grat error: on* *grat reply: on* Sconfig 0.00000 $*reply for props: on* *ring 0 search: on* Sconfig 0.00000 *using MOBICACHE* And this is trace of DSR packet which was sent by node 1 to node 7, thru nodes 2 and49. s -t 174.915972216 -Hs 1 -Hd 2 -Ni 1 -Nx 457.34 -Ny 129.06 -Nz 0.00 -Ne 851.312714 -Nl RTR -Nw --- -Ma 13a -Md 1 -Ms 2b -Mt 800 -Is 1.255 -Id 7.255 -It DSR -Il 60 -If 0 -Ii 197 -Iv 255 -P dsr -Ph 4 *-Pq 0* -Ps 0 *-Pp 0* -Pn 0 -Pl 0 -Pe 0->0 *-Pw 0* -Pm 0 -Pc 0 -Pb 0->0 r -t 174.924489065 -Hs 2 -Hd 2 -Ni 2 -Nx 623.71 -Ny 207.78 -Nz 0.00 -Ne 851.313684 -Nl RTR -Nw --- -Ma 13a -Md 2 -Ms 1 -Mt 800 -Is 1.255 -Id 7.255 -It DSR -Il 60 -If 0 -Ii 197 -Iv 255 -P dsr -Ph 4 *-Pq 0* -Ps 0 *-Pp 0* -Pn 0 -Pl 0 -Pe 0->0 *-Pw 0 *-Pm 0 -Pc 0 -Pb 0->0 f -t 174.924489065 -Hs 2 -Hd 49 -Ni 2 -Nx 623.71 -Ny 207.78 -Nz 0.00 -Ne 851.313684 -Nl RTR -Nw --- -Ma 13a -Md 2 -Ms 1 -Mt 800 -Is 1.255 -Id 7.255 -It DSR -Il 60 -If 0 -Ii 197 -Iv 254 -P dsr -Ph 4 *-Pq 0* -Ps 0 *-Pp 0* -Pn 0 -Pl 0 -Pe 0->0 *-Pw 0* -Pm 0 -Pc 0 -Pb 0->0 r -t 174.926795341 -Hs 49 -Hd 49 -Ni 49 -Nx 830.61 -Ny 112.90 -Nz 0.00 -Ne 851.456161 -Nl RTR -Nw --- -Ma 13a -Md 31 -Ms 2 -Mt 800 -Is 1.255 -Id 7.255 -It DSR -Il 60 -If 0 -Ii 197 -Iv 254 -P dsr -Ph 4 *-Pq 0* -Ps 0 *-Pp 0* -Pn 0 -Pl 0 -Pe 0->0 *-Pw 0* -Pm 0 -Pc 0 -Pb 0->0 f -t 174.926795341 -Hs 49 -Hd 7 -Ni 49 -Nx 830.61 -Ny 112.90 -Nz 0.00 -Ne 851.456161 -Nl RTR -Nw --- -Ma 13a -Md 31 -Ms 2 -Mt 800 -Is 1.255 -Id 7.255 -It DSR -Il 60 -If 0 -Ii 197 -Iv 253 -P dsr -Ph 4 *-Pq 0* -Ps 0 *-Pp 0* -Pn 0 -Pl 0 -Pe 0->0 *-Pw 0* -Pm 0 -Pc 0 -Pb 0->0 r -t 174.929020342 -Hs 7 -Hd 7 -Ni 7 -Nx 919.92 -Ny 158.09 -Nz 0.00 -Ne 851.513418 -Nl RTR -Nw --- -Ma 13a -Md 7 -Ms 31 -Mt 800 -Is 1.255 -Id 7.255 -It DSR -Il 60 -If 0 -Ii 197 -Iv 253 -P dsr -Ph 4* -Pq 0* -Ps 0 *-Pp 0* -Pn 0 -Pl 0 -Pe 0->0 *-Pw 0* -Pm 0 -Pc 0 -Pb 0->0 Thanking You all, Manish.
