It's very unusual to make the TCP to send one packet at a time which means you
only want it to be always in the slow-start phase..... It's indeed possible to
control the transmission rate... for example of TCP with FTP...try to make a
loop of constant time series that you want the application to be sent...then
set the transfer size to be equal to 1 TCP segment size (by default is
1000bytes).... you may also need to set the upper bound of advertised window
(window_ ) to 1 which indicate that the receiver only could accept 1 tcp
segment at a time...
(eg: $ns at $time "ftp send $size")
that's the only way i could think about right now.... and there maybe other
better way to do it
>Plus, afterwards I want to do the same thing with a SCTP agent.
As for the SCTP, check the available local variable first in ns-2 because the
structure of SCTP is a bit different with normal TCP.....
