Hi Dave,

 The key ns2 scripts and analysis tools that was
used in "Multimedia-unfriendly TCP Congestion Control and Home Gateway
Queue Management" can be found here:
http://caia.swin.edu.au/urp/newtcp/tools/cbr-drop-scripts.tar.gz

To successfully run this simulation, ns2 needs to be patched with the
CAIA CBR traffic extension found here:
http://caia.swin.edu.au/urp/newtcp/tools/ns2_33_patch0.1.1.tar.gz

I hope this will aid you in your work. Also hope to speak to you soon.


Cheers,
Andreas
