[Q.R.Iqbal]

Hi Pranav

Yes there is a problem, I did some similar tests like you a couple of
months ago. Unfortunately Adaptive listening does not work as described. 
Now I  dont know if there is a faullt in SMAC or that is how it is suppose
to work. But I noticed that with Adaptive listening the performance only
increased by 5%. So in a network with many messages, the delivery rate
does not increase. The messages just wait in the queue and then get
dropped. If you do come out with better results or anybody has better
results that contradict what I said, then please do let me know. to see
the delivery rate, set the agent trace on

Kind regards
