[Csci551-talk] Packet loss probability in manager.conf ?

[Affan, Syed]

Under section 4.5 the usage of loss probabilities is explained (with an
example). If the drop prob >0, you will probabilitically drop outgoing
pkts. 

Best Regards,
Affan, Syed.

Is the packet loss probability field in manager.conf given just for
understanding or do we have to deal with it in any way ? We use delay to
delay sending packets and after Request Timeout period, if there is no
reply, we request again. I couldnt figure out if we would really be
using the loss probability values in re-sending packets ?!

Thanks
Rashmi.
