Selecting TCP Module Variables to View During simulation

To select flow control algorithm specific variables to view/edit during the simulation, select the "Select TCP Module Variables to View during simulation" option in the "Configure TCP Settings" menu, followed by the selected host (Left or Right) to bring up the following panel -

Select Custom Variables Panel Screenshot

The "Select a TCP Version" window displays the Patch Maps for the flow control algorithms selected previously. To display the custom variables for an algorithm shown here in the "Variables for:" window, highlight the algorithm and press the "View Version Variables" button.

Variables shown in the "Variables for:" window can be added to the selection in the right window by highlighting them and using the "Add" button. Conversely, variables can be removed from the selection by highlighting them in the right window and pressing the "Remove" button. To finalize the selection, press the "OK" button.

Note that this process can be carried out at any point in the simulation to change the flow control algorithm specific variables displayed in the "Variables" tab of a host's Tab Panel.

For information on the variables available for each flow control algorithm, please refer to Section 2.3 in Appendix 3 in the thesis.
