Part III
• Introducing AWK
• Introducing gnuPlot
Basics of AWK • AWK is a scripting language suitable for text processing /
data extraction and report formatting.
• It is interpreted line by line and produces the output in a required format.
• Input text files are considered to be a set of records containing different fields, i.e. each line in the file is a record (row) and each word of a line is considered as a field (column).
• The default column separator is white space, however other delimiters such as a comma (,), or a tab space may also be used.
• First column of the file is accesses using $1, second column using $2 etc.
NS-2/AN/Intro/ 3
Example-1• Let us consider a text file (file.txt) with the following content.
Ashok 20-sep-1991 India
Marry 13-oct-1995 Italy
John 15-mar-1990 USA
Karim 25-Feb-1993 Pakistan
• Command Line Execution:– Issue the following commands in the command prompt.
awk < file.txt ’{print $2}’
or
awk ’{print $2}’ file.txt
• It will display the second field(column) of each line available in a text file called ’file.txt’.

General Structure of AWKBEGIN action(s)
A set of patterns action(s) pair
END action(s)
• All actions with BEGIN pattern are executed once at the beginning of the execution of the script. Normally the variable initializations are made in this section.
• The pattern-action pair between BEGIN and END pattern are executed for each line of the input file.
• Finally actions with END pattern are executed once at the end. END section is normally used for printing the summarized results.

Example-2 • Write AWK script to print All the students having first division
with their average % score of marks
#program to print student names scoring First division
BEGIN {
lines=0;
print "\n Students with First Division";
print "=========================";
}
{
lines++;
avg=($3+$4+$5)/3;
if (avg >= 60) {
NS-2/AN/Intro/ 7
printf $2 "\t" avg "%\n";
}
}
END{
print “=====*=====";
print lines " lines scanned...";
}
Execute with: awk -f myFirstAwk.sh < file.txt
Practice Programs • Write and execute all example programs
• Write AWK script for the followings
– To print the list of Failed students.
– To print the list of Poor students.
( avg mark < class avg)
Data format: (reg, name m1, m2, m3)

GNUPlot• GNUPlot is a software used to plot graphs using
data or functions.
• It is a command driven and suitable for 2D as well as 3D plots.
• To start, issue the command gnuplot in the command line, that will a result a prompt like,
gnuplot>
• This is called the gnuplot command line. A plot now can be created using any of the following two ways.
i) use the plot command in command line, or
ii) create a script file with extension ’<script_file>.p’ then load the script.
NS-2/AN/Intro/ 9
Plotting • Plot using a predefined function:
gnuplot > plot sin(x)/x
• Plot using a data file (scheduling.dat)
# Processor requirement for different algorithms
#Tasks Alg1 Alg2 Alg3
70 5 8 10
80 6 10 11
90 7 12 12
100 10 14 15
plot “scheduling.dat" using 1:2 title ’Alg1’ with lines, \
“scheduling.dat" u 1:4 t ’Alg’ w linespointsNS-2/AN/Intro/ 10

Customizing plots#Gnuplot script file: scheduling.p
set autoscale # scale axis automatically
set xtic auto # set xtics automatically
set ytic auto # set ytics automatically
set title "Processor requirement in different Algs"
set xlabel "Processors"
set ylabel "Tasks"
set key 0.01,100 #position of Legend
plot "scheduling.dat" u 1:2 t ’Alg1’ w lines , "scheduling.dat" u 1:3 t ’Alg2’ with linespoints
• To execute this script: gnuplot> load ’schedule.p’
NS-2/AN/Intro/ 11
Histograms# File name: histo.p;
set grid;
set style data histograms;
set style histogram cluster;
set style fill pattern;
set key left;
plot ’scheduling.dat’ using 2:xtic(1) t “Alg1", \
"" u 3 t "Alg2", "" u 4 t "Alg3";
• The col1 data of the data file(scheduling.dat) is taken to be the values in the x-axis.
• The values in col_2 - col_4 forms three bars in a cluster.
• Each row of data file is treated as one cluster and numbers of bars in a cluster is the number of columns considered in the plot command.
NS-2/AN/Intro/ 12
Practice Programs• Write and execute all example programs
• Consider the data file containing marks of the students in 3 subjects and plot the following graphs.
– Draw a line plot containing 3 lines i) regNo vs mark1, ii) regNo vs mark2, and iii) regNo vs mark3.
– A histogram that contains regNo in x axis and 3 different marks of one student is plotted as 3 clustered bars for each students.

Explaining Output (I)
• Column 1: events– +: enqueue– -: dequeue– r: receive– d: drop
• Column 2: – Time of event
• Column 3 & 4: – Trace between which two nodes?
Network Performance - IAverage Delay:
• It is the average of total delay incurred due to all packets.
– For each packet i received, find the delay asdelayi
= arrivalTimePacketi - sendingTimePacketi
– Compute Average delay for n packets as follows
avgDelay = 1..n delayi / n
NS-2/AN/Intro/ 16
Network Performance - IINetwork Throughput:
• It is defined as the total number of bytes received at the destination per sec.
– Add the bytes of all data packets received.
– Divide the total size calculated in above step by the simulation time.
– To get the values in Mbps multiply final value with 8/1000000.

Practice Programs
• Write a NS script to implement above programand generate a trace file (trace.tr)
• Write one AWK script to find packet statistics and average delay.
