Detailed Description

Vertex used in shortest path first (SPF) computations.

See RFC 2328 , Section 16.

Each router in the simulation is associated with an SPFVertex object. When calculating routes, each of these routers is, in turn, chosen as the "root" of the calculation and routes to all of the other routers are eventually saved in the routing tables of each of the chosen nodes. Each of these routers in the calculation has an associated SPFVertex.

The "Root" vertex is the SPFVertex representing the router that is having its routing tables set. The SPFVertex objects representing other routers or networks in the simulation are arranged in the SPF tree. It is this tree that represents the Shortest Paths to the other networks.

Each SPFVertex has a pointer to the Global Router Link State Advertisement (LSA) that its underlying router has exported. Within these LSAs are Global Router Link Records that describe the point to point links from the underlying router to other nodes (represented by other SPFVertex objects) in the simulation topology. The combination of the arrangement of the SPFVertex objects in the SPF tree, along with the details of the link records that connect them provide the information required to construct the required routes.

◆ SetRootExitDirection() [1/2]

void ns3::SPFVertex::SetRootExitDirection ( Ipv4Address nextHop,
int32_t id = SPF_INFINITY )

Set the IP address and outgoing interface index that should be used to begin forwarding packets from the root SPFVertex to "this" SPFVertex.

Each router node in the simulation is associated with an SPFVertex object. When calculating routes, each of these routers is, in turn, chosen as the "root" of the calculation and routes to all of the other routers are eventually saved in the routing tables of each of the chosen nodes.

The "Root" vertex is then the SPFVertex representing the router that is having its routing tables set. The "this" SPFVertex is the vertex that represents the host or network to which a route is being calculated from the root. The IP address that we're asking for is the address on the remote side of a link off of the root node that should be used as the destination for packets along the path to "this" vertex.

When initializing the root SPFVertex, the IP address used when forwarding packets is determined by examining the Global Router Link Records of the Link State Advertisement generated by the root node's GlobalRouter. This address is used to forward packets off of the root's network down those links. As other vertices / nodes are discovered which are further away from the root, they will be accessible down one of the paths via a link described by one of these Global Router Link Records.

To forward packets to these hosts or networks, the root node must begin the forwarding process by sending the packets to a first hop router down an interface. This means that the first hop address and interface ID must be the same for all downstream SPFVertices. We call this "inheriting" the interface and next hop.

In this method we are telling the root node which exit direction it should send should I send a packet to the network or host represented by 'this' SPFVertex.

+ Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ SetVertexId()

void ns3::SPFVertex::SetVertexId ( Ipv4Address id)

Set the Vertex ID field of a SPFVertex object.

The Vertex ID uniquely identifies the simulation object a given SPFVertex represents. Typically, this is the Router ID for SPFVertex objects representing routers, and comes from the Link State Advertisement of a router aggregated to a node in the simulation. These IDs are allocated automatically by the routing environment and look like IP addresses beginning at 0.0.0.0 and monotonically increase as new routers are instantiated. This method is an explicit override of the automatically generated value.

Parameters
idThe new Ipv4Address Vertex ID for the current SPFVertex object.

References m_vertexId, and NS_LOG_FUNCTION.

◆ SetVertexProcessed()

void ns3::SPFVertex::SetVertexProcessed ( bool value)

Set the value of the VertexProcessed flag.

Flag to note whether vertex has been processed in stage two of SPF computation

Parameters
valueboolean value to set the flag

◆ SetVertexType()

void ns3::SPFVertex::SetVertexType ( SPFVertex::VertexType type)

Set the Vertex Type field of a SPFVertex object.

The Vertex Type describes the kind of simulation object a given SPFVertex represents.
