ILinkLayerUpper

module interface

This module interface provides an abstraction for the upper 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	This module implements a trivial MAC protocol for use in AckingWirelessInterface.
ShortcutMac	simple module	This 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	This module interface provides an abstraction for both upper and lower interfaces of different link layers.
