If you like to know the values in a steady state you sould run the simulation for at least several minutes. Especially in the first few seconds you can experience several strange effects. Something I often see is a storm of ARP packets at the beginning of a simulation because all stations start to communicate at about the same time. So, it is sometimes better to discard the results from the first seconds. Daniel. -- Dipl.-Inf. Daniel Mahrenholz, University of Magdeburg, Germany Homepage: http://ivs.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/~mahrenho
