FlowMonitor is one of the most useful tools in NS-3 for evaluating the performance of network simulations. It can collect statistics for IP flows and export the results to an XML file for further analysis. In this tutorial, we learn how to use NS-3 FlowMoni tor to collect and analyse transmitted packets, received packets, lost packets, transmitted bytes, received bytes, packet delay, jitter and flow statistics. We will also see how FlowMonitor can be combined with NetAnim, Wireshark and Python-based analysis. What can FlowMonitor measure? Parameter Description txPackets Number of packets transmitted rxPackets Number of packets received lostPackets Number of packets lost txBytes Number of bytes transmitted rxBytes Number of bytes received delaySum Accumulated p...
