I am new to NS-3 and presently experimenting with 80211P wifi standard,
phymode "OfdmRate6MbpsBW10MHz",
DataRate "1Mbps",
Application "onoffapplication" with OnTime"1.0" and OffTime "0.0",
Packet Size 64
Two nodes at a distance of 5 units on x-axis, one sink
Simulation Time = 200
I am taking output of throughput using flow-monitor and formula
Throughput = stats->second.rxBytes * 8.0 / (stats->second.timeLastRxPacket.GetSeconds()-stats->second.timeFirstTxPacket.GetSeconds())/1024/1024
and plotting with using GNUPLOT vs time (seconds)
Well my question is the output graph confused me a little as I was expecting a constant throughput, but simulation starts, the trend showed is increasing throughput over period of around 50 and then becomes constant.
I would like to know what does the exponential increase if throughput mean between period of 0-50, I have attached the graph beloe, If any further information required, I can provide regarding my code. Most of the help I took from past discussions on this forum, doxygen documentations, examples and tutorials. Thanks.
