Simple Module TokenBucketMeter

Package: inet.networklayer.diffserv
File: src/inet/networklayer/diffserv/TokenBucketMeter.ned

Simple token bucket meter.

IP packets are classified according to two parameters, Committed Information Rate (cir), Committed Burst Size (cbs), to be either green, or red.

Green traffic is guaranteed to be under (in bits) cir * (t1 - t0) + 8 * cbs in every [t0,t1] interval.

When operating in color-aware mode, the meter does not classify a packet to be green, if it was marked with a higher color by a previous meter.

Used in compound modules:

Name	Type	Description
DiffservQueue	compound module	This is an example queue, that can be used in interfaces of DS core and edge nodes to support the AFxy (RFC 2597) and EF (RFC 3246) PHBs.

TC3	compound module	Traffic conditioner used in Experiment 3.2.
TrafficConditioner	compound module	TODO documentation

Parameters:

Name	Type	Default value	Description
interfaceTableModule	string		The path to the InterfaceTable module
cir	string		committed information rate, either absolute bitrate (e.g. "100kbps"), or relative to the link's datarate (e.g. "20%")
cbs	int		committed burst size
colorAwareMode	bool	false	enables color-aware mode
