Hi all,

When I run the simulation, NS-2 gives me the following error message: 
ns: 
[code omitted because of length]
: invalid command name "Agent/TCP/Newreno/QS"
    while executing
"Agent/TCP/Newreno/QS set rbp_scale_ 0.75

Can everybody help me?

Thanx in advance

I mean, is NS-2 using IP layer when I send packets from one node to another? Which version of IP is NS-2 using, IPv4 or IPv6? How do I use either of them?
