Running the Simulator => Viewing/Interacting with the simulation => Stream Panel


Stream Panel

The Stream Panels display segments traveling from the Left to Right host (top Stream Panel) and from the Right to Left host (bottom Stream Panel). These segments move at a speed across the panel corresponding to their experienced propagation delay. A screenshot of the left to right stream panel containing segments traveling fromt he left to right host is shown below.

Stream Panel Screenshot

Note that lost segments (colored red) will disappear midway through the stream panel. As a result, whenever a burst of lost segments occurs, streams of red segments will appear and disappear midway through the panel.

If the user wishes to obtain detailed information on a segment displayed in a stream panel, simply double click the segment to obtain an in-depth report for that segment (See below).

For more information on the Stream Panel as well as the different types of segments that travel within it, please refer to Section 4.3.4 for Appendix 3 in the thesis.
