I want to know the best paths chosen by a given protocol(as in AODV the path with min. hop count is best path). From where I could understand this path? was that trace file or what?
Zeyad Mohammad trace root command is a CMD command but what I want is on the simulation environment like NS2.
Try this https://ns2blogger.blogspot.com/p/the-file-written-by-application-or-by.html
Thanks but I know that site too and even mentioned my question there which I still doesn't got answer for. That site is all about trace files sir!
If you use NetSim, you can get this by
1. visualizing from the Animator
2. looking at the forwarding tables in the results dashboard
3. looking at the packet trace
thanks Abhishek Tayal but am using NS2 simulator since am working on multi-path routing protocol.
Bekan Kitaw :- You will get your answer with the help of "Trace file", i.e., output file with respect to your TCL script. But, firstly, you have to understand the basic wireless trace file output. Then you will be able to understand that dynamically how your simulated protocol chooses the path.
Varun Kumar Sharma yeha of course I do understood the trace file output but I don't think it indicates the chosen path like S->1->4->7->D path is chosen for routing bla bla...
@Bekan Kitawm .. Just go inside ns-2, you will have a file named cmu-trace.cc. Everything related to trace output is clearly mentioned in form of different subroutines in that file. Still, if you're testing an AODV protocol, you will not be able to get the desired output (e.g. 1->2->3). Still in the trace file the route is clearly mentioned but in other format. Otherwise, try to test DSR protocol, you will be able to get the output in your desired format. Also try to refer
