Hello everyone,

I am using onoff application with DHCP IPv4 address.

DHCP application can work, but when I using the onoff application, the throughput is always 0.

I believe there is something wrong with the address value I used.

OnOffHelper onoff ("ns3::TcpSocketFactory", Ipv4Address::GetAny ());

What code should I replace " Ipv4Address::GetAny () " ?

My topology is only with two nodes, 1 AP device and 1 station device.

I install the DHCP server on AP and client on station.

Please help me.

Many thanks.

How can you send packets to a node if you don't know the IP address of a node ?

Do you think that servers on Internet are using DHCP ?

Use DHCP for the client (the one where OnOffApplication is) and static addresses for the sink.
