| 56 | The links section defines how many independent sets of connections objects in the simulator may have (eg. multi-homing). It can be thought of in terms of [wiki:foo Sandbox 4] as the number of available attenuator matrices. Each matrix (ie. each link set) is independent of the other. The default attenuation per matrix (link set) is defined in this section and used in cases where maximum attenuation is calculated between a pair of objects or an object pair is not defined. The maximum number of objects per matrix (link set) is also defined here for proper generation of the trace file. |
