INetworkNode

module interface

Contains the common interface for all node types in a network.

Inheritance diagram

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

Implemented by

Name	Type	Description
AdhocHost	compound module	A wireless host containing routing, mobility and battery components. Supports only IPv4 protocol, TCP and UDP as transport protocol. This is a typical mobile node which can participate in adhoc routing and may have TCP/UDP applications installed. Supports ICMP (ping) too.
AODVRouter	compound module	It models a WirelessHost extended with AODVRouting submodule.
BGPRouter	compound module	IP router with BGPv4 and OSPFv4 support.
CorrespondentNode6	compound module	An IPv6 host with MIPv6 support and contains a Binding Cache which gets updated with every BU received.
DYMORouter	compound module	TODO
GPSRRouter	compound module	TODO
HomeAgent6	compound module	IPv6 router Configured to operate as a Home Agent in a network supporting MIPv6.
MobileHost6	compound module	MIPv6 host with TCP, UDP layers and applications.
MulticastRouter	compound module	(no description)
NetPerfMeterHost	compound module	NetPerfMeter application host.
NodeBase	compound module	Contains the common lower layers (linklayer and networklayer) of Router, StandardHost, WirelessHost etc.
OSPFRouter	compound module	An OSPFv2 router.
PacketDrillHost	compound module	IPv4 host with SCTP, TCP, UDP layers and a packetdrill application. The application has a direct connection to the TunInterface.
RIPRouter	compound module	An RIPv2 router.
Router	compound module	IPv4 router that supports wireless, Ethernet, PPP and external interfaces. By default, no wireless and external interfaces are added; the number of Ethernet and PPP ports depends on the external connections.
Router6	compound module	IPv6 router.
RTPHost	compound module	TODO document!
SCTPNatRouter	compound module	\IP router.
StandardHost	compound module	IPv4 host with SCTP, TCP, UDP layers and applications. IP forwarding is disabled by default (see forwarding).
StandardHost6	compound module	IPv6 host with TCP, SCTP and UDP layers and applications. see StandardHost for configuration.
WirelessHost	compound module	Models a host with (default) one wireless (802.11) card in infrastructure mode. This module is basically a StandardHost with an Ieee80211Nic with mgmtType = Ieee80211MgmtSTA added. It should be used in conjunction with AccessPoint, or any other AP model which contains Ieee80211Nic with mgmtType = Ieee80211MgmtAP.
WirelessHost6	compound module	IPv6 compatible node with MIPv6 support. Models a host with one wireless (802.11b) card in infrastructure mode, supports handovers and MIPv6 protocol. This module is basically a StandardHost with an Ieee80211NicSTA and MobileIPLayer6 added. It should be used in conjunction with WirelessAPSimplified, or any other AP model which contains Ieee80211NicAPSimplified.
