For first question: AWK is consider a programming language that is designed for processing text-based files, it consider the file construct from rows and columns. So $35 mean column 35 at trace output file that its coorosponding to type of trafic, $19 (column 19) mean application layer(the action happen in this layer) $3 (column 3)is time( the time when the action happened).
For further look at the following site: http://www.cs.binghamton.edu/~kliu/research/ns2code/index.html So before starting simulation, you should better to understand every item in trace file format. About the second point: yes there is a version at linux. http://www.mathworks.com/support/sysreq/current_release/linux.html Regards, Mohammed AbuHajar --- On Thu, 12/3/09, Wei Zhang <weizhang...@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Wei Zhang <weizhang...@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: please help me To: "Mohammed AbuHajar" <mcs...@yahoo.com> Date: Thursday, December 3, 2009, 3:37 PM Hi Mohammed AbuHajar, I would liketo ask you: In awk file what are some variables $35 $19,$3... and whre they were took from ?

It gives nice and accurate draws. I attached the function that I used it in plotting.
