I wrote an awk script to parse ns-2 tracefiles and determine the path delays for packets between a source and destination. And then I made it public on a mailing list.

L. Wood, ns-2 packet delay awk script, ns-users mailing list, July 1999.

I was using CBR firing once a second, hence the final %d. The more general %f is better.

Others have since found that script useful in their work, and have referenced it. Someone placed it on github.
