Compound Module EthernetInterfaceThrMtr

Package: pubsub_sim
File: src/EthernetInterfaceThrMtr.ned

Ethernet Interface with Throughput Meter

Ethernet network interface which supports full-duplex operation only. Complements EtherMAC2 and EtherEncap with an output queue for QoS and RED support. It also incorporates a throuput meter, but easier recording of statistics.

See also: EthernetInterface, EthernetInterfaceNoQueue, ThruputMeter.

Used in compound modules:

If a module type shows up more than once, that means it has been defined in more than one NED file.

PSRouter (compound module)	The Publish-Subscribe Router
PubHost (compound module)	The Publisher Host
SubHost (compound module)	The Subscriber Host

Parameters:

Name	Type	Default value	Description
queueType	string	"DropTailQueue"

Properties:

Name	Value	Description
display	i=block/ifcard;bgb=214,341

Gates:

Name	Direction	Size	Description
netwIn	input
netwOut	output
phys	inout

Unassigned submodule parameters:

Name	Type	Default value	Description
mac.promiscuous	bool	false	if true, all packets are received, otherwise only the ones with matching destination MAC address
mac.address	string	"auto"	MAC address as hex string (12 hex digits), or "auto". "auto" values will be replaced by a generated MAC address in init stage 0.
mac.mtu	int	1500
thruputMeter.startTime	double	0s
thruputMeter.batchSize	int	10000
thruputMeter.maxInterval	double	1s
