Dear NS-users,
I would like to evaluate the steady-state throughput of a network of few nodes with respect to the packet arrival rate (PAR).
For each PAR, I extract from the trace file the corresponding Throughput by using the following formula
Throughput = (total number of bits received) / (simulation duration). Let's mentioned that in the simulation duration, the transient period is not considered.
My problem is that I don't know how to compute the steady-state throughput. Because the throughput I am computing varies with the simulation duration. I tried to simulate with very long simulation durations (4000...6000
seconds), but there are still significant changes in the throughput values and the simulation takes too long time.
How could I simulate the steady-state throughput?
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
Mozam
