[ndnSIM] How to get the current data packet size of a certain interface per second?

[ZHANG, Lu]

Dear Junxiao and all,

Thanks for your answer. In fact there may be something wrong with my
expression. What I really want to know is the traffic payload at a certain
second( in kilobyte or something).

As you know, function "data-> GetWire() -> GetSize()" can give the result
of payload at a moment, as I get this info from "ndn-l3-rate-tracer.cc":

*void*
*L3RateTracer::OutData  (Ptr<const Data> data,*
*                        bool fromCache, Ptr<const Face> face)*
*{*
*  m_stats[face].get<0> ().m_outData ++;*
*  if (data->GetWire ())*
*    {*
*      m_stats[face].get<1> ().m_outData += data->GetWire ()->GetSize (); *
*    }*
*}*

Sorry for any misunderstanding about my previous question.

1 more question is, I cannot use time(NULL) function in file
"ndn-forwarding-strategy.cc" as I always get the error

*"error: expected primary-expression before ‘(’ token"*
*lastTime=time(NULL);*
*                      ^*
I did something like this:

in "ndn-forwarding strategy.h" I put below* in public field.*

  int  lastTime;
  int  now;

When I was invoking lastTime by using "*lastTime =time(NULL)*", I got the
problem above.

It should be a simple problem but I just cannot find the reason. Would you
please help?

Thanks in advance and best wishes,

Lu Zhang
