           Summary: OnOffApplication: m_lastStartTime not set correctly
           Product: ns-3
           Version: ns-3-dev
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW

m_lastStartTime needs to be set both when a packet is sent and when the
application starts sending.  Otherwise, it is possible for an application to
start and stop without a packet being sent, and the computation for
m_residualBits becomes incorrect.  An artifact of the current bug is that
csma-multicast.cc script doesn't send any packets.

Also, the behavior of OnOffApplication needs to be better documented because it
wasn't intuitive to me that state is saved across stop/start event sequences.
