ACTION:	[s|r|D]: s -- sent, r -- received, D -- dropped
WHEN:	the time when the action happened
WHERE:	the node where the action happened
LAYER:	AGT -- application,
	RTR -- routing,
	LL  -- link layer (ARP is done here)
	IFQ -- outgoing packet queue (between link and mac layer)
	MAC -- mac,
	PHY -- physical
flags:
SEQNO:	the sequence number of the packet
TYPE:	the packet type
		cbr -- CBR data stream packet
		DSR -- DSR routing packet (control packet generated by routing)
		RTS -- RTS packet generated by MAC 802.11
		ARP -- link layer ARP packet
SIZE:	the size of packet at current layer, when packet goes down, size increases, goes up size decreases
[a b c d]:	a -- the packet duration in mac layer header
		b -- the mac address of destination
		c -- the mac address of source
		d -- the mac type of the packet body
flags:
[......]:	[
		source node ip : port_number
		destination node ip (-1 means broadcast) : port_number
		ip header ttl
		ip of next hop (0 means node 0 or broadcast)
		]

So we can interpret the below trace

s 76.000000000 _98_ AGT  --- 1812 cbr 32 [0 0 0 0] ------- [98:0 0:0 32 0]

as

Application 0 (port number) on node 98 sent a CBR packet whose ID is 1812 and size is 32 bytes, at time 76.0 second, to application 0 on node 0 with TTL is 32 hops. The next hop is not decided yet.

And we can also interpret the below trace

r 0.010176954 _9_ RTR  --- 1 gpsr 29 [0 ffffffff 8 800] ------- [8:255 -1:255 32 0]

in the same way, as

The routing agent on node 9 received a GPSR broadcast (mac address 0xff, and ip address is -1, either of them means broadcast) routing packet
whose ID is 1 and size is 19 bytes, at time 0.010176954 second, from node 8 (both mac and ip addresses are 8), port 255 (routing agent).
