ActivePacketSource

simple module

This module is an active packet source which pushes packets into 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
BurstyPacketProducer	compound module	This module mixes two different packet sources to generate bursty traffic.

Extends

Name	Type	Description
PacketSourceBase	simple module	This is a base module for various packet source modules. Packets are created randomly with regard to packet length and packet data. The representation of packet data can also be configured.

Parameters

displayStringTextFormat	string	"created %p pk (%l)"	determines the text that is written on top of the submodule
packetNameFormat	string	"%n-%c"	%n module name, %c packet number, %l packet length, %d packet data, %t simulation time, %e event number
packetRepresentation	string	"byteCount"	determines the chunk of the packet data
packetLength	int
packetData	int	-1
productionInterval	double		elapsed time between subsequent packets pushed to the connected packet consumer
