PassivePacketSource

simple module

This module is a passive packet source which can be popped for packets from the connected packet collector.

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
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.

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

Name	Type	Default value	Description
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
providingInterval	double	0s	elapsed time between subsequent packets allowed to be popped by the connected packet collector, 0 means any number of packets can be popped at the same simulation time

Properties

Signals

Name	Type	Unit
packetCreated	inet::Packet
packetPopped	inet::Packet

Statistics
