[ns] trace level significance

Mon Jan 12 09:35:12 PST 2004

I had a further question on this and i am a beginner.
If you are looking from a user's perspective, we
should run the simulations with only AGT trace ON
right? When you run tracegraph, you get some
statistics.
Now if we keep both AGT and RTR traces ON, and collect
statistics, you get different statistics,possibly a
combination of both traces. So if you are comparing
routing protocols, what should be kept on and what
not? Should the results be judged from a router's
perspective or a user's perspective?

Thaks in advance,
Vin
