<!--SOHUMAIL_HTML_HEAD_END--><p> Thanks for Zhani Mohamed Faten's reply. actually, what i intend to do is quite simple: i wish to examine the prediction in very short time scales, e.g. multi-seconds, of network traffic. <p><p> Several recent work have examined the predictability of network traffic. I consider the prediction problem base on measurement, which may be inaccurate but need less overhead. Further, the measurement results are the past but the prediction value is the future. In a word, what i concern is that whether i can obtain the relatively accurate prediction of future based on coarse measurements of past.<p> So i need the actual time average bandwidth to justify our prediction algorithm. Unfortunately, to handle the dump file become a practice problem.<p> In addition, the format of dump file is still unknown for me. The NS trace file is in text format and one line in the file corresponds to a record, which are very convenient.<p> Are there some material about the convertion from dump file to text file ?<p> Thanks ! <p> Shaohe Lv<hr size=1><style type="text/css">
