PacketSchedulerBase

simple module

This is a base module for various packet scheduler modules. Derived modules must implement a single packet scheduler function which determines the index of the input gate for the popped packet.

Inheritance diagram

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

Known subclasses

Name	Type	Description
ContentBasedScheduler	simple module	This module connects one packet collector to multiple packet providers. It can be popped for packets by the connected packet collector. When this happens, the scheduler pops a packet from one of its packet providers based on the configured packet filters. The first matching expression determines the index of the input gate.
LabelScheduler	simple module	This module schedules packets based on the attached labels in a LabelsTag.
MarkovScheduler	simple module	This module implements a packet scheduler using a Markov process that has as many states as input gates the scheduler has. The input gate for the next packet is determined by the current state of the Markov process.
PacketScheduler	simple module	This module connects one packet collector to multiple packet providers. It can be popped for packets by the connected packet collector. When this happens, the scheduler pops a packet from one of its packet providers based on the configured scheduler function. The packet scheduler function takes a list of packet providers and returns an integer which in turn is used for determining the input gate.
PriorityScheduler	simple module	This classifier pops packets from the first non-empty among its connected packet providers.
WrrScheduler	simple module	This module implements weighted round-robin scheduling.

Extends

Name	Type	Description
PacketProcessorBase	simple module	This is a base module for various packet processing modules which maintains a few statistics.
