ILinkLayerLower

module interface

Interface for the lower interface of different link layers.

Inheritance diagram

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

Implemented by

Name	Type	Description
AckingMac	compound module	Implements a trivial MAC protocol for use in ~AckingWirelessInterface.
ShortcutMac	simple module	Implements a simple shortcut to peer MAC protocol that completely bypasses the physical layer. Packets received from the upper layer protocols are never lost. The MAC protocol directly sends packets to the destination MAC protocol without any physical layer processing. Physical layer overhead is simply simulated by overhead bits, overhead transmission duration and a propagation delay.

Known subclasses

Name	Type	Description
ILinkLayer	module interface	Interface for both upper and lower interfaces of different link layers.

Properties

display	i=block/rxtx
