Inheritance diagram

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

Known subclasses

Name Type Description
ActivePacketSource simple module

This module is an active packet source which pushes packets into the connected module. It pushes whole packets through the out gate at every production interval. It pushes the first packet after the initial production offset.

PcapFilePacketProducer simple module

This module is an active packet source which pushes packets into the connected packet consumer. All pushed packets are read from a PCAP file.

Extends

Name Type Description
PacketSourceBase simple module

This is a base module for various packet source modules. Packets are created randomly with regard to packet length and packet data. The representation of packet data can also be configured.

Parameters

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

determines the text that is written on top of the submodule

packetNameFormat string "%a-%c"

see directives in module documentation

packetRepresentation string "byteCount"

determines the chunk of the packet data

packetProtocol string "unknown"
packetLength int
packetData int -1
attachCreationTimeTag bool true
attachIdentityTag bool true
attachDirectionTag bool true
