IPacketDelayer

module interface

Interface for packet delayers.

Inheritance diagram

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

Implemented by

Name	Type	Description
EthernetCutthroughBarrier	simple module	(no description)
OmittedPacketDelayer	compound module	Implements the given module interface and can be used as an optional module that removes itself from the module hierarchy during initialization.
PacketDelayer	simple module	Connects one packet producer to one packet consumer. It can be pushed with packets from the connected packet producer. When this happens, the packet is delayed and eventually pushed to the output. Note that the order of packets may change if the delay parameter is configured to be a distribution.
QueueingPacketDelayer	compound module	Compound module that delays packets for a specified amount of time while preserving their order. Implements the IPacketDelayer interface using a queue and server architecture. The queue stores packets while they wait, and the server processes each packet with a processing time equal to the configured delay. Note that the actual packet delay will be the sum of the queueing time and the configured delay. Unlike the simple PacketDelayer module, this implementation always maintains packet order regardless of delay distribution.

Used in compound modules

Name	Type	Description
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.
ProcessingDelayLayer	compound module	(no description)

Extends

Name	Type	Description
IPassivePacketSink	module interface	Interface for passive packet sink modules. A passive packet sink, also called a consumer, has one input that must be connected to an active packet source module. The connected active packet source is expected to push packets into the passive packet sink over time.
IActivePacketSource	module interface	Interface for active packet source modules. An active packet source, also called a producer, has one output that must be connected to a passive packet sink module. The active packet source is expected to push packets into the connected passive packet sink over time.
