Extends

Name	Type	Description
CompoundPacketQueueBase	compound module	This compound module serves as a base module for complex packet queues formed by combining several queueing components.

Parameters

Name	Type	Default value	Description
displayStringTextFormat	string	"contains %p pk (%l) pushed %u created %c\n pulled %o removed %r dropped %d"	determines the text that is written on top of the submodule
packetCapacity	int	-1	maximum number of packets in the queue, no limit by default
dataCapacity	int	-1b	maximum total length of packets in the queue, no limit by default
dropperClass	string	""	determines which packets are dropped when the queue is overloaded, packets are not dropped by default; the parameter must be the name of a C++ class which implements the IPacketDropperFunction C++ interface and is registered via Register_Class
numTrafficClasses	int	8	number of traffic categories
bitrate	double
hasGcl	bool	false
