EthernetFrameClassifier

Package: inet.linklayer.ethernet.common

EthernetFrameClassifier

simple module

C++ definition

Classifier that forwards Ethernet PAUSE frames to the pauseOut gate, and other frames to the defaultOut gate.

This component can be used to build a QoS queue that gives the PAUSE frames the highest priority.

Inheritance diagram

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

Extends

Name Type Description
PacketClassifierBase simple module

Base module for various packet classifier modules. Derived modules must implement a single packet classifier function which determines the index of the output gate for the next pushed packet.

Parameters

Name Type Default value Description
displayStringTextFormat string "classified %p pk (%l)"

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

reverseOrder bool false

Properties

Name Value Description
class EthernetFrameClassifier

Signals

Name Type Unit Description
packetPushed inet::Packet

Statistics

Name Title Source Record Unit Interpolation Mode Description
packetLengths packet lengths packetLength(packetPushed) sum, histogram, vector b none

the statistical value is the length of the classified packet

dataRate data rate throughput(packetPushed) vector bps linear

the statistical value is the data rate of the classified packets

packets packets packetPushed count pk

the statistical value is the classified packet
