send data every one second on MANET

[kimiko yukii]

hello, i'm a newbie on ns-3
i'm working on manet implementation that comparing random based mobility, and then confused on how can i send one packet data at one second in order to get exact convergence time? i'm using AODV and the code from the manet-routing-compare.cc which exist on ns3 documentation.
thank you so much for your help

You need to install some application to the node that generates packets.  The UdpEchoClient has an "interval" attribute you can set to 1s to send a packet every second.  To get a response you install a UdpEchoServer on some node and then set the UdpEchoClient RemoteAddress attribute to the server node's IP address.  In this case, you will get 1 message per second from client to server, and one response from server to client.

The OnOffApplication can also create packets with some interval.  It is paired with a PacketSInk application on the node whose address is set as the client's Remote attribute.  I find the UdpEchoClient/Server easier to setup though.  Look through the examples for those applications for code showing how to set them up.
