NS2无线仿真中的Trace文件分析

以下内容来自KeLiu的Blog.

 

一般在仿真后会生成一个*.tr文件，文件中的每一行包含的信息如下：

ACTION:	[s|r|D]: s -- sent, r -- received, D -- dropped, f- forward



WHEN:	the time when the action happened



WHERE:	the node where the action happened



LAYER:	AGT -- application, 



	RTR -- routing, 



	LL  -- link layer (ARP is done here)



	IFQ -- outgoing packet queue (between link and mac layer)



	MAC -- mac, 



	PHY -- physical



flags:



SEQNO:	the sequence number of the packet



TYPE:	the packet type



		cbr -- CBR data stream packet



		DSR -- DSR routing packet (control packet generated by routing)



		RTS -- RTS packet generated by MAC 802.11



		ARP -- link layer ARP packet



SIZE:	the size of packet at current layer, when packet goes down, size increases, goes up size decreases



[a b c d]:	a -- the packet duration in mac layer header



		b -- the mac address of destination



		c -- the mac address of source



		d -- the mac type of the packet body



flags:



[......]:	[



		source node ip : port_number



		destination node ip (-1 means broadcast) : port_number



		ip header ttl 



		ip of next hop (0 means node 0 or broadcast)



		]

例如：

s 76.000000000 _98_ AGT  --- 1812 cbr 32 [0 0 0 0] ------- [98:0 0:0 32 0]

as Application 0 (port number) on node 98 sent a CBR packet whose ID is 1812 and size is 32 bytes, at time 76.0 second, to application 0 on node 0 with TTL is 32 hops. The next hop is not decided yet.

s(type) 76.000000000(When)  _98_(Who)  AGT(Which layer)  --- 1812(packetID) cbr(packet type) 32(packet size) [0 0 0 0] ------- [98:0 0:0 32 0]

And we can also interpret the below trace

r 0.010176954 _9_ RTR  --- 1 gpsr 29 [0 ffffffff 8 800] ------- [8:255 -1:255 32 0]

in the same way, as The routing agent on node 9 received a GPSR broadcast (mac address 0xff, and ip address is -1, either of them means broadcast) routing packet whose ID is 1 and size is 19 bytes, at time 0.010176954 second, from node 8 (both mac and ip addresses are 8), port 255 (routing agent).
