SimpleNetworkLayer

Package: inet.networklayer.common

SimpleNetworkLayer

compound module

Provides a simple network layer.

echo : EchoProtocol

Provides a mechanism to test network layer connectivity using echo request/response messages...

Source:
echo: EchoProtocol {
    parameters:
        @display("p=450,100");
} up : MessageDispatcher

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

Source:
up: MessageDispatcher {
    parameters:
        @display("p=300,200;b=480,5");
} arp : like IArp

IArp: Interface for Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) implementations.

Source:
arp: <default("")> like IArp if typename != "" {
    parameters:
        @display("p=150,300;q=pendingQueue");
} np : like INetworkProtocol

INetworkProtocol: This interface provides an abstraction for different network protocols.

Source:
np: <> like INetworkProtocol {
    parameters:
        @display("p=300,300;q=queue");
} lp : MessageDispatcher

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

Source:
lp: MessageDispatcher {
    parameters:
        @display("p=300,400;b=480,5");
}
