NAM Trace Formats
The general format for a NAM trace is a single letter abbreviation
followed by one or more flag/value pairs. This information comes from
"The ns Manual" (http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/doc/) "Nam Trace" chapter. It can also be generated by running "nam -p". Note that all flags may not be used every time.
