GatingPriorityQueue

compound module

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

Name Type Description
CompoundPacketQueueBase compound module

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

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

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
