... however, some things are not mentioned. NS-2 trace files are not that big if you opt not to include all available trace levels. (you can for instance trace only transport-layer segments).
It is not exactly fair to say NS-2 is incomplete<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.. it is being improved upon all the time and reflects ongoing networks research which means that by definition it will never be "complete".
As a note to novice users: If you find that the traces give you a lot of headache just remember that you can collect statistics at the agent itself and output that during/at the end of the simulation. you don't have to rely on the built-in traces; in fact for the most part you shouldn't as it is inefficient..
