package inet.common.queue;

//
// This module selectively drops packets, based on the available
// buffer space of the queues attached to its output.
//
// The componenent has n input and n output gates (specified by
// the numGates parameter). Packets arrived at the ith input
// gate are transmitted on the ith output gate, or dropped.
//
// The module sums the buffer lengths of its outputs
// and if enqueuing a packet would exceed the configured
// capacities, then the packet will be dropped instead.
//
// Be attaching a ThresholdDropper to the input of a FIFO
// queue, you can compose a DropTailQueue. Shared buffer
// space can be modeled by attaching more FIFO queues
// to the output.
