StandardHost

Package: inet.node.inet

StandardHost

compound module

IPv4 host with SCTP, TCP, UDP layers and applications. IP forwarding is disabled by default (see forwarding).

  • Can be connected via ethernet interface to other nodes using the ethg gate. By default full-duplex connections are supported only (twisted pair). Set **.eth[*].typename="EthernetInterface" for a full/half-duplex CSMA/CD implementation (coaxial cable)
  • By default contains no wireless cards, however it can be configured by the numWlanInterfaces parameter. Wireless card type is configured by the **.wlan[*].typename parameter. see: inet.linklayer.ieee80211 or other modules implementing IWirelessInterface
  • Also external interfaces can be configured for HW in the loop simulation using the numEthInterfaces parameter and setting the interface type using **.eth[*].typename in the INI file. see: ExtInterface derived modules and IExternalInterface
  • If wireless card is present, node mobility can be set using *.*.mobility.typename see: inet.mobility and IMobility

Inheritance diagram

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

Known subclasses

Name Type Description
GptpEndstation compound module

This module implements a gPTP end station that contains a clock module and a gPTP protocol.

RtpHost compound module (no description)
SctpNatRouter compound module

SCTP NAT router

StandardHost6 compound module

IPv6 host with TCP, SCTP and UDP layers and applications. see StandardHost for configuration.

TsnDevice compound module

This module represents a Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) hardware end device that supports time synchronization, per-stream filtering and policing, scheduling and traffic shaping, frame replication and elimination, frame preemption for Ethernet networks. All TSN features are optional and they can be combined with other Ethernet features.

WirelessHost compound module

Models a host with (default) one wireless (802.11) card in infrastructure mode. This module is basically a StandardHost with an Ieee80211Interface with mgmt.typename = Ieee80211MgmtSta added. It should be used in conjunction with AccessPoint, or any other AP model which contains Ieee80211Interface with mgmt.typename = Ieee80211MgmtAp.
