Detailed Description

Packet source generates packets according to a given distribution with sizes following a (second) given distribution

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

PacketSource::PacketSource (  Distrib *  interarrival, Distrib *  service )

Creates a PacketSource. Parameters: interarrival  pointer to a distribution that describes the interarrival process between packets (in timeunits) service  pointer to a distribution that describes the packet sizes (in bits)

Member Function Documentation

void PacketSource::AccumDelay (  timeunits  t  )

Access to the packet delay statistical collector. This function is called by the cooresponding SrcSink NetElement, if any. Parameters: t  value to account for.

PacketSource * PacketSource::AddHop (  NetElement *  ne  )

Succesive calls allow to build-up routes from the source NetElement to the destination NetElement. Parameters: ne  pointer to the NetElement to append to the end of the current route. Returns: this.

NetElement* PacketSource::GetNextHop (  unsigned int  index  )  const [inline]

Allows to get the a given NetElement in the route. Parameters: index  ordinal of the NetElement to retrieve. Returns: pointer to the next NetElement, or 0 if at the end of the route.

void PacketSource::Reset (  bool  dump = false  )  [virtual]

Resets interarrival and packet delay statistics. Implements NetElement.

void PacketSource::Start (  timeunits  now  )  [virtual]

Starts the source Parameters: now  time to start generating packets. Reimplemented in BiStateSource, and VoiceTraceFileSource.
