Detailed Description

Build a set of PointToPointNetDevice objects.

Normally we eschew multiple inheritance, however, the classes PcapUserHelperForDevice and AsciiTraceUserHelperForDevice are "mixins".

◆ DisableFlowControl()

void ns3::PointToPointHelper::DisableFlowControl ( )

Disable flow control only if you know what you are doing.

By disabling flow control, this NetDevice will be sent packets even if there is no room for them (such packets will be likely dropped by this NetDevice). Also, any queue disc installed on this NetDevice will have no effect, as every packet enqueued to the traffic control layer queue disc will be immediately dequeued.

◆ EnableAsciiInternal()

void ns3::PointToPointHelper::EnableAsciiInternal ( Ptr< OutputStreamWrapper > stream,
std::string prefix,
Ptr< NetDevice > nd,
bool explicitFilename )
overrideprivatevirtual

Enable ascii trace output on the indicated net device.

NetDevice-specific implementation mechanism for hooking the trace and writing to the trace file.

Parameters
streamThe output stream object to use when logging ascii traces.
prefixFilename prefix to use for ascii trace files.
ndNet device for which you want to enable tracing.
explicitFilenameTreat the prefix as an explicit filename if true

◆ Install() [1/5]

NetDeviceContainer ns3::PointToPointHelper::Install ( NodeContainer c)
Parameters
ca set of nodes
Returns
a NetDeviceContainer for nodes

This method creates a ns3::PointToPointChannel with the attributes configured by PointToPointHelper::SetChannelAttribute, then, for each node in the input container, we create a ns3::PointToPointNetDevice with the requested attributes, a queue for this ns3::NetDevice, and associate the resulting ns3::NetDevice with the ns3::Node and ns3::PointToPointChannel.
