[ns] Loss Monitor Agent in ad-hoc

[Aicho SAID(ENG)]

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone can explain to me how does the parameter nlost_ from the agent loss
monitor is calculated is it over a period of time th enode doesn't receive packet so this parameter
gives an average value? or is it actually the total amount of packet lost at a particular time?

does this value include dropped packets?

thanks
