Tracegraph

Since there are no available trace analysis tool developed in NS2, people are building their own program. A good software was designed called tracegraph, although tracegraph is good for analysis purpose, the main problem with tracegraph is it is very slow to load a trace file.

The fact that it is created using MATLAB make it clear, since, MATLAB is not suitable to read a complex data although MATLAB is good for complex calculation. Why is it slow? It is because, the trace file need to be converted into Tracegraph format, the conversion part take 90% of the whole process.

For those using Tracegraph, make sure your computer is fast enough. However, the graphing part/ processing part is quite fast.

  1. Hi Sir...i am working with NS-2.29 for WSN simulation using MannaSim.I am able to generate .tcl files using MannaSim Script Generation tool for different protocols.I am facing problems with analysing simulation results for the same where i need to use Tracegraph/Traceconverter.I am fortunate that i found your blog.But i am unable to download Tracegraph/Traceconverter software for windows.None of the download links are working for me .Please suggest me any working download link or mail me the software.I really need to come out of this with a solution soon.It would be really helpfull if you let me out of this.
