Inheritance diagram

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

Implemented by

Name	Type	Description
AckingWirelessInterface	compound module	Highly abstracted wireless NIC that consists of a unit disk radio and a trivial MAC protocol. It offers simplicity for scenarios where Layer 1 and 2 effects can be completely ignored, for example testing the basic functionality of a wireless ad-hoc routing protocol.
BMacInterface	compound module	(no description)
CsmaCaInterface	compound module	Module interface for CSMA/MA network interfaces.
EthernetInterface	compound module	Ethernet network interface. Complements EtherMac and EtherEncap with an output queue for QoS and RED support.
ExtInterface	compound module	This module provides a base module for external network interfaces.
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.
ExtUpperIeee80211Interface	compound module	This module provides an IEEE 802.11 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.
Ieee80211Interface	compound module	This NIC implements an 802.11 network interface card. It can be configured via the mgmt.typename parameter to act as an AP or a STA, or for ad-hoc mode.
Ieee802154NarrowbandInterface	compound module	(no description)
Ieee802154UwbIrInterface	compound module	(no description)
LMacInterface	compound module	(no description)
LoopbackInterface	compound module	Loopback interface. Complements the Loopback module.
PppInterface	compound module	PPP interface. Complements the Ppp module with an output queue for QoS and RED support.
ShortcutInterface	compound module	(no description)
TunInterface	compound module	(no description)
VlanInterface	compound module	(no description)
WirelessInterface	compound module	(no description)
XMacInterface	compound module	(no description)

Known subclasses
