PacketMultiplexer

simple module

This module connects multiple packet producers to one packet consumer. When a packet is pushed by one of the connected packet producers, then the multiplexer simply pushes the packet to the connected packet consumer.

Inheritance diagram

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

Used in compound modules

Name	Type	Description
AFxyQueue	compound module	This is an example queue, that implements one class of the Assured Forwarding PHB group (RFC 2597).
ResponseProducer	compound module	This module is capable of generating several different streams of packets, one after the other. For each traffic category, the packets are produced by a separate token based server. The traffic stream can be started by adding tokens the corresponding server module. The packet data, packet length, and timing distributions can be configured in the corresponding packet provider.
TelnetServerConnection	compound module	This module contains a configurable pre-composed telnet traffic source and traffic sink as part of a telnet server application.

Extends

Name	Type	Description
PacketSinkBase	simple module	This is a base module for various packet sink modules.
