Hi Elisa,
- Not all of the required metrics can be extracted from the trace file*.
- How? Analysing it. The AWK file from NS-2 will not do the work, because the trace files are completely different, however, if you understand one, you can implement the other.
- Potentially yes, but it will depend on your traffic. You need to understand the limitations/scope of FlowMonitor and what types of traffic it can classify; hence provide statistics.
- Due to being a Friday and especially one before a long weekend, do not expect immediate replies... people volunteer to the ns-3-users list, they are not paid, so I would expect to have a beer first and then answer your questions! If you do not have enough time, that's your problem because you did not manage it properly to learn the tool intime.
Regards,
K.
