module interface

Module interface for Ethernet interfaces.

Inheritance diagram

The following diagram shows inheritance relationships for this type. Unresolved types are missing from the diagram.

Implemented by

Name	Type	Description
EthernetInterface	compound module	Ethernet network interface. Complements EtherMac and EtherEncap with an output queue for QoS and RED support.
ExtLowerEthernetInterface	compound module	This module provides an Ethernet network interface suitable for emulation. The lower part of the network interface is realized in the real world using a real ethernet socket of the host computer which is running the simulation.
ExtUpperEthernetInterface	compound module	This module provides an Ethernet network interface suitable for emulation. The upper part of the network interface is realized in the real world using a real TAP device of the host computer which is running the simulation.

Used in compound modules

Name	Type	Description
AccessPoint	compound module	A generic access point supporting multiple wireless radios, and multiple ethernet ports. The type of the ethernet MAC, relay unit and wireless card can be specified as parameters.
EtherHost	compound module	An example host with one Ethernet port and a traffic generator that generates request-reply traffic directly over Ethernet. This host model does not contain higher layer protocols (IP, TCP). By default it is configured to use half-duplex MAC (CSMA/CD).
EtherHost2	compound module	An example host with one Ethernet interface and an Ethernet traffic generator directly connected to it. This host model does not contain higher layer protocols (IP, TCP). By default is configured to use half-duplex MAC (CSMA/CD).
EtherSwitch	compound module	Model of an Ethernet switch.
LinkLayerNodeBase	compound module	(no description)

Extends

Name	Type	Description
IWiredInterface	module interface	Module interface for wired network interfaces.
