now..is it not possible to covert these out.tr and other trace file as z_mac output into nam or xgraph files....

m reading them but some things are not understandable......and can you please help me to run s-mac in ns....s-mac files are given in ns2.26/mac folder....we need tcl script for that??

i got Mytest.tcl for s-mac.. fromm

http://www.isi.edu/ilense/software/smac/ns2_energy.html


but the rror is.....

again for z-mac....at...1. http://www4.ncsu.edu/~rhee/export/zm.../zmac/zmac.htm..

given a python script .. getZMACInput.python...to convert into .drand and .color but when i m using it..it is not working...as..

error 1..if i use as per instructions on 1..
root@priyanka-Aspire-5745:/usr/local/ns-allinone-2.26/ns-2.26/python# python getZMACInput.py new-scen-21-120-120 30 0
Usage: <ns topology file> <MAX_NBR> <use local framing 0/1>

error 2...if i see inside the script and use it..
root@priyanka-Aspire-5745:/usr/local/ns-allinone-2.26/ns-2.26/python# python getZMACInput.py simple.tr new-scen-21-120-120 30 0
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "getZMACInput.py", line 26, in <module>
nsOutFile = open(sys.argv[1] + '.out', 'r')
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'simple.tr.out'


i think some changes are need to be done in the script..i dnt know python..please help...

sorry for inconvience..it is done.....#65....but ..whai is the use of output of drand at this...no use na??...

# 66 Please show ...
1) the used command(s)
2) the "new-scen-N-X-Y" file.
3) and the result.

...i got it sir...the python script is the 2nd way to allocate slot for Z-mac input...and the 1st one is DRAND....but the trace files are different for both...

i have used insructions as given on...#65

this is all!!

now please help me to analyse the o/p file above....i.e .drand and .maxcolor.....and finally the zmac o/p file...and how would i plot xgraph for that with analysis???..i want to plot for throughput and some delay parametres!!!!

any file required can be provided!!!!

thanks in advance..
any good link or tutorial to plot xgraph from trace files...???

Well,I guess you will have to find (or write) an awk or perl script,
that can filter the trace file into a file that xgraph will plot.

Example http://hpds.ee.ncku.edu.tw/~smallko/...oc_routing.htm
( awk -f <awkscript> <out.tr>
