INetworkLayer

module interface

This module interface provides an abstraction for the upper and lower interfaces of different network layers.

Inheritance diagram

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

Implemented by

Name	Type	Description
GenericNetworkLayer	compound module	This module provides the generic network layer.
IPv4NetworkLayer	compound module	Network layer of an IPv4 node.
IPv6NetworkLayer	compound module	Represents an IPv6 network layer (L3).
MultiNetworkLayer	compound module	This module supports multiple different network layers simultaneously. Packets received through the transport gates are handed over to the corresponding network layer based on the attached control info. Packets received from the interface gates are also handed over to the corresponding network layer based on their runtime type.
SimpleNetworkLayer	compound module	This module provides a simple network layer.
WiseRouteNetworkLayer	compound module	This module provides a simple network layer.

Name	Type	Description
MultiNetworkLayer	compound module	This module supports multiple different network layers simultaneously. Packets received through the transport gates are handed over to the corresponding network layer based on the attached control info. Packets received from the interface gates are also handed over to the corresponding network layer based on their runtime type.
NodeBase	compound module	Contains the common lower layers (linklayer and networklayer) of Router, StandardHost, WirelessHost etc.

Extends

Name	Type	Description
INetworkLayerLower	module interface	This module interface provides an abstraction for the lower interface of different network layers.
