Inheritance diagram

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

Implemented by

Name	Type	Description
EthernetInterface	compound module	Ethernet network interface. Complements EtherMAC and EtherEncap with an output queue for QoS and RED support.
ExtInterface	simple module	Implements an interface that corresponds to a real interface on the host running the simulation. Suitable for hardware-in-the-loop simulations.
IdealWirelessNic	compound module	Highly abstracted wireless NIC that consists of a unit disk radio and a trivial MAC protocol. It offers simplicity for scenarios where Layer 1 and 2 effects can be completely ignored, for example testing the basic functionality of a wireless ad-hoc routing protocol.
Ieee80211Nic	compound module	This NIC implements an 802.11 network interface card. It can be configured via the mgmtType parameter to act as an AP or a STA, or for ad-hoc mode.
Ieee802154NarrowbandNic	compound module	(no description)
Ieee802154UWBIRNic	compound module	(no description)
LoopbackInterface	compound module	Loopback interface. Complements the Loopback module.
PPPInterface	compound module	PPP interface. Complements the PPP module with an output queue for QoS and RED support.
TunInterface	simple module	(no description)
WirelessNic	compound module	(no description)
