Compound Module EtherEncapDummy

Package: inet.linklayer.ethernet
File: src/inet/linklayer/ethernet/EtherEncapDummy.ned

Dummy encapsulation/decapsulation module for EthernetInterface.

Expected environment:

lowerLayerIn, lowerLayerOut gates should be connected to an EtherMAC
upperLayerIn, upperLayerOut gates should be connected to an IMACRelayUnit

Functionality:

packets coming from upper layers will be sent to MAC.
Ethernet frames arriving from MAC will be sent up to the higher layers.

Usage diagram:

The following diagram shows usage relationships between types. Unresolved types are missing from the diagram.

Inheritance diagram:
