Compound Module PSRouter

Package: pubsub_sim
File: src/PSRouter.ned

The Publish-Subscribe Router

The PSRouter, may support any number of Ethernet interfaces, which on the other hand, all have to be connected to the Forwarder. There is no other protocol able to operate in the PSRouter, apart from the Publish-Subscribe scheme.

See also: Forwarder, FwTable, LinkMon.
