Known subclasses

Name	Type	Description
EthernetLink	channel	EthernetLink provides a base channel type for Ethernet connections with configurable length and propagation delay. It extends the Cable type and calculates the delay based on the physical length of the cable(1,2,3) and the speed of light in the medium.
