Abstract

When analyzing packet log files from network experiments, the question which received packet belongs to which send event arises. If non-unique (i.e.,binary identical) transmissions have occurred, this send-receive correlation problem can become very challenging. We discuss this problem in the case of networks with local broadcast media, and outline first directions how it can be solved.
