Inheritance diagram

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

Implemented by

Name	Type	Description
EtherEncap	simple module	Performs Ethernet II or Ethernet with LLC/SNAP encapsulation/decapsulation.
EtherEncapDummy	compound module	Dummy encapsulation/decapsulation module for EthernetInterface.

Used in compound modules

Name	Type	Description
EthernetInterface	compound module	Ethernet network interface. Complements EtherMac and EtherEncap with an output queue for QoS and RED support.
EtherSwitch	compound module	Model of an Ethernet switch.
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.
