DirectionReverserLayer

Package: inet.linklayer.ethernet.common

DirectionReverserLayer

compound module

Provides a layer that combines the decision for local delivery with the service of reversing the direction of an incoming packet to outgoing for packet forwarding.

cutthroughBarrier : like IPacketDelayer

IPacketDelayer: Interface for packet delayers.

Source:
cutthroughBarrier: <default("")> like IPacketDelayer {
    @display("p=100,150");
} fork : MessageDispatcher

Facilitates the interconnection of applications, protocols, and network interfaces, dispatching...

Source:
fork: MessageDispatcher {
    forwardServiceRegistration = false;
    @display("p=100,300;i=-;b=10,10,oval,grey,,1");
} delayer : like IPacketDelayer

IPacketDelayer: Interface for packet delayers.

Source:
delayer: <default("")> like IPacketDelayer {
    @display("p=300,300");
} reverser : like IPacketFlow

PacketDirectionReverser: Part of the layer 2 architecture.

IPacketFlow: Interface for packet flows.

Source:
reverser: <default("PacketDirectionReverser")> like IPacketFlow {
    @display("p=500,300");
} join : PacketMultiplexer

Connects multiple packet producers to one packet consumer.

Source:
join: PacketMultiplexer {
    forwardProtocolRegistration = false;
    @display("p=700,300");
}

Parameters

Name Type Default value Description
interfaceTableModule string

Relative module path of the interface table

Properties

Name Value Description
display i=block/layer

Gates

Name Direction Size Description
upperLayerIn input
upperLayerOut output
lowerLayerIn input
lowerLayerOut output

Unassigned submodule parameters

Name Type Default value Description
fork.displayStringTextFormat string "processed %p pk (%l)"

Determines the text that is written on top of the submodule, supports displaying pars, watches, and module-specific information

fork.interfaceTableModule string

Module path to the ~InterfaceTable module

fork.forwardProtocolRegistration bool true
fork.interfaceMapping object {}

Maps network interface names to connected submodule names (e.g. {"eth0": "bridging"}), overrides automatically learned dispatching; * overrides all learned network interfaces, ? overrides default

fork.serviceMapping object {}

Maps protocols to connected submodule names (e.g. {"ethernetmac": "bridging"}), overrides automatically learned dispatching; * overrides all learned services, ? overrides default

fork.protocolMapping object {}

Maps protocols to connected submodule names (e.g. {"ipv4": "bridging"}), overrides automatically learned dispatching; * overrides all learned protocols, ? overrides default

join.displayStringTextFormat string "passed %p pk (%l)"

Determines the text that is written on top of the submodule, supports displaying pars, watches, and module-specific information

join.forwardServiceRegistration bool true
