Flow monitor works for unicast transmission. How to get measure network metrics for broadcast scenarios (VANET scenario) ?

[Boong Baang]

I need to calculate the following parameters in a VANET:

• Average Delay of the network
• Average Age of Information of the network
• Average Throughput of the network
• Average Packet Delivery Ratio of the network

By average, I mean the parameters have to be calculated for each node and then averaged for all the nodes. I found the group discussions that point to Flow-Monitor for sucg calculations, but the documentation states that it only works for unicast messages. In my scenario, messages are generated using 802.11p which makes them broadcast.

The slides NS-3 Advanced Tutorial:Visualization and Data Collection lists several ways to extract such parameters, but the VANET scenario is not discussed specifically. So how should I proceed to calculate the parameters I listed above in a VANET scenario?

Hi, 

Did you get a solution to do that? I am currently trying to do so. So, if you have a solution, please mention here.

I calculated the delay and age using the packet generation and reception instants. The PDR and throughput is shown in the file vanet-routing-compare.cc, but I haven't used that.

Dear

Do you code for calculating the parameters you listed?
