Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
ContentBasedFilter | simple module |
This module filters for packets matching the configured filter criteria. When the filter is pushed by a connected packet producer, it either pushes the packet to the connected packet consumer or drops it depending on the configured packet filter. Similarily, when the filter is pulled by a connected packet collector, it pulls packets from the connected packet provider until it finds one which matches the configured packet filter. |
ContentBasedLabeler | simple module |
This module attaches various request labels to packets. |
ContentBasedTagger | simple module |
This module attaches various request tags to packets. |
CreditBasedGate | simple module |
This module is a packet gate that operates based on the number of credits it contains. The gate is open if the number of credits is greater than the configured transmit credit limit, it is closed otherwise. The module attaches a CreditGateTag to all packets that pass through. The attached tag allows the gate module to determine if a packet belongs to it when the packet is eventually transmitted. |

DualIeee8021qFilter | compound module |
This module combines two meters and their corresponding filters per path. This is primarily useful for combining a token bucket based metering with an asynchronous packet shaper. Note that the asynchronous packet shaper also has parts in the network interface queue module. |
DualRateThreeColorMeter | simple module |
This packet meter module measures the packet flow that is passing through using two token buckets. The meter attaches a LabelsTag to each packet with either green, yellow or red color depending on which token bucket contains the required number of tokens for the packet. |
EligibilityTimeFilter | simple module |
This module is a packet filter that operates based on the EligibilityTimeTag attached to the packet that is passing through. Packets are dropped if the tag is missing. If the maxResidenceTime parameter is set, then the filter also drops the packets for which the eligibility time in the attached EligibilityTimeTag is greater than the current simulation time plus the maximum residence time. |
EligibilityTimeGate | simple module |
This module is a packet gate that operates based on the EligibilityTimeTag attached to the next packet waiting to be pulled through. The gate is closed if the eligibility time is greater than the current simulation time, it is open otherwise. |
EligibilityTimeMeter | simple module |
This module is a packet meter which measures the packet flow that is passing through and optionally attaches an EligibilityTimeTag to the packets. The tag contains the calculated simulation time when the packet becomes eligibile for transmission according to the asynchronous shaper algorithm. |
EmptyPacketSource | simple module |
This module is an active/passive empty packet source. It doesn't push packets into the connected module, and it doesn't allow packets to be pulled from it by the connected module. The output gate generates backpressure for pull packet operations. |
