[ns] what's the relationship of Pt_ and -txPower ?

[Qasim Raza Iqbal]

Hi David

What you need to do is look at NS Archives, This topic has been discussed
several times and in great depth.

go to this website
http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/htdig/search.html

and type in your question e.g  RXThresh, Transmit power , etc, and you
will get loads of hits
