CompoundPacketQueueBase

compound module

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

Inheritance diagram

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

Known subclasses

Name Type Description
CompoundPendingQueue compound module

Implements a prioritized queue system for IEEE 802.11 MAC frames. Uses a classifier to separate incoming packets into three queues: management frames (highest priority), multicast frames (medium priority), and unicast frames (lowest priority). A priority scheduler then selects packets from these queues in order of priority.

DiffservQueue compound module

This is an example queue that can be used in interfaces of DS core and edge nodes to support the AFxy (RFC 2597) and EF (RFC 3246) PHBs.

DSQueue1 compound module

Diffserv Queue used in Experiment 1.1 - 1.6 and 5.1.

DSQueue2 compound module

Diffserv Queue used in Experiment 2.1 - 2.4.

EthernetQosQueue compound module

Queue module that gives the PAUSE frames a higher priority, and can be parametrized with an ~IPacketQueue for serving the data frames.

EthernetQosRedQueue compound module

Queue module that gives the PAUSE frames a higher priority, and using Random Early Detection algorithm on data frames, and can be parametrized with an ~IPacketQueue for serving the data frames.

ExampleCompoundPriorityQueue compound module (no description)
GatingPriorityQueue compound module

Implements a priority queue with multiple inner queues each having its own periodic gate for packet selection and an optional shared memory buffer.

GatingQueue compound module

Implements a queue having its own periodic gate.

Ieee8021qTimeAwareShaper compound module

Implements the IEEE 802.1Q time aware shaper.

PriorityQueue compound module

Implements a priority queue with multiple inner queues and an optional shared memory buffer.

PriorityShaper compound module

Combines a classifier, a scheduler, and several traffic shapers into a single packet shaper. Packets are classified into one of the traffic shapers, and the scheduler prioritizes among them.

RedDropperQueue compound module

Combines a packet queue with random early detection (RED) dropper.

REDQueue compound module (no description)

Extends

Name Type Description
PacketQueueBase simple module

Base module for various packet queue modules which maintains a few statistics.

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, supports displaying pars, watches, and module-specific information

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

the statistical value is the number of packets in the queue

droppedPacketsQueueOverflow dropped packets: queue overflow packetDropReasonIsQueueOverflow(localSignal(packetDropped)) count pk none

the statistical value is the packet that is dropped due to queue overflow

queueingTime queueing times queueingTime(localSignal(packetPulled)) histogram, vector s none

the statistical value is the queueing time of packets

incomingDataRate incoming datarate throughput(localSignal(packetPushStarted)) vector bps linear

the statistical value is the data rate of the incoming packets

flowQueueingTime flow queueing times queueingTime(demuxFlow(localSignal(packetPulled))) histogram, vector s none

the statistical value is the flow specific queueing time of packets

incomingPacketLengths incoming packet lengths packetLength(localSignal(packetPushStarted)) sum, histogram, vector b none

the statistical value is the length of the incoming packet

flowIncomingDataRate flow specific incoming data rate throughput(flowPacketLength(demuxFlow(localSignal(packetPushStarted)))) vector bps linear
