how do i plot the trace file into a graph? can any 1 show an example here? just any trace file will do, thanks

What kind of trace file?

What kind of graph?

wireless adhoc network simulation .tr file and plotting Network throughput vs time.
please advice

AFAIK, you can use some awk scripts, to filter the trace files,
making it possible for e.g. xgraph to handle the filtered output.
( sudo apt-get install xgraph ).

Some may be included in ns-2.xx. ( find ns-2.xx/ -name "*awk*" ).

And Google will find some ( keyword = .. wireless adhoc network ns2 awk ..)

>>> http://www.tlc-networks.polito.it/fi...stats_v05b.tgz
trace2stats : is a set of AWK scripts to get node-to-node statistics
from the tracefiles generated by the ns-2 network simulator.

Also suggest : Run some of the included simulations, that have a runall* script.
Example tcl/ex/wireless-scripts/ , and tcl/ex/red-pd/ .
red-pd/ runall.sh : The simulation will run for four hours. gv + gnuplot required.

thanks alot knudfl! have u plot a graph similiar to
http://ethesis.nitrkl.ac.in/1131/1/bikas.pdf

Fig 5.2 end-to-end delay verses pause time

how to plot to this extend?
coz the awk only plots 1 to 1 node

dear sir:

when i run avgStats.awk with the command awk -f avgStats.awk avgStats.tr > avgStats.xgr in a terminal,it creates a file avgState.xgr but it's an empty file, i don't know the reason. can u help me?
how i can convert awk file into xgr file?

#6 :
From trace2stats/read.me :
Usage (from shell): 'awk -f avgStats.awk <values> <tracefile>'
Usage example: 'awk -f avgStats.awk src=2 dst=3 flow=0 pkt=1000 test.tr > stats.out'

You are mising <values>. Also : You are probably also missing a file.tr.

The awk files are filters used to convert <your-file.tr> to a format readable
by a plot application.
( Except avgStats.awk, etc.: Is for statistics only, see read.me.)

You can't. file.tr can be filtered by an awk script, e.g. avgStats.awk.
And don't use ".xgr". No extension is required.

knudfl,

same as adel.elkabbany, i do not have any output at all
i have input in the terminal "awk -f avgStats.awk src=0 dst=1 flow=0 pkt=512 694demo.tr > stats.out"
here is my traffic scenario and movement:

can u advice?thanks alot!

avgStats.awk: Is for statistics only, see read.me line 41..55.

awk -f avgStats.awk src=2 dst=3 flow=0 pkt=1000 694demo.tr > 694stats.out

will output a statistics file, 18 lines, but statistics lines have "values" = 0.

it mention statictics, but i sld at least have a value coz i transmitted some stuff. am i correct?sldnt be value 0, did i input something wrongly? i need to know the stats so that i can plot.

Google .. ns2 awk filters ..

how i can convert awk file into xgr file?

according to your reply i put the command[/U]:

awk -f avgStats.awk src=2 dst=3 flow=0 pkt=1000 test.tr > stats.out

but it give the below message :

awk: avgStats.awk:4: fatal: cannot open file `test.tr' for reading (No such file or directory)

what i do? thanks in advance

Dear All,

I have change the simulation time to 1200.00 on my tcl script, but I still get this result.

Warning: no packets were received, simulation may be too short

What is going on ? Please help me. Thanks
