Detailed Description

keep track of a set of node pointers.

Typically ns-3 helpers operate on more than one node at a time. For example a device helper may want to install devices on a large number of similar nodes. The helper Install methods usually take a NodeContainer as a parameter. NodeContainers hold the multiple Ptr<Node> which are used to refer to the nodes.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

NodeContainer() [1/5]

ns3::NodeContainer::NodeContainer

(

)

Create an empty NodeContainer.

Definition at line 27 of file node-container.cc.

NodeContainer() [2/5]

ns3::NodeContainer::NodeContainer

(

Ptr< Node >

node

)

Create a NodeContainer with exactly one node which has been previously instantiated.

The single Node is specified by a smart pointer.

Parameters

node	The Ptr<Node> to add to the container.

Definition at line 31 of file node-container.cc.

References m_nodes.

NodeContainer() [3/5]

ns3::NodeContainer::NodeContainer

(

std::string

nodeName

)

Create a NodeContainer with exactly one node which has been previously instantiated and assigned a name using the Object Name Service.

This Node is then specified by its assigned name.

Parameters

nodeName

The name of the Node Object to add to the container.

NodeContainer() [4/5]

ns3::NodeContainer::NodeContainer ( uint32_t n, uint32_t systemId = 0 )

explicit

Create a NodeContainer with the requested number of Nodes.

This is syntactic sugar for

NodeContainer nodes;
nodes.Create (size);
// or nodes.Create (size, systemId);

Parameters

[in]	n	The number of nodes to create.
[in]	systemId	The system id or rank associated with this node

Here is the call graph for this function:

NodeContainer() [5/5]

template<typename... Ts>

ns3::NodeContainer::NodeContainer	(	const NodeContainer &	nc,
		Ts &&...	args )

Create a node container which is a concatenation of multiple input NodeContainers.

Template Parameters

Ts	[deduced] Template type parameter pack for the multiple NodeContainers

Parameters

nc	The first NodeContainer
args	The remaining NodeContainers

Note

A frequently seen idiom that uses these constructors involves the implicit conversion by constructor of Ptr<Node>. When used, Ptr<Node> will be passed to this constructor instead of NodeContainer&. C++ will notice the implicit conversion path that goes through the NodeContainer (Ptr<Node> node) constructor above. Using this conversion one may optionally provide arguments of Ptr<Node> to these constructors.

const

Get an iterator which refers to the first Node in the container.

Nodes can be retrieved from the container in two ways. First, directly by an index into the container, and second, using an iterator. This method is used in the iterator method and is typically used in a for-loop to run through the Nodes

NodeContainer::Iterator i;
for (i = container.Begin (); i != container.End (); ++i)
  {
    (*i)->method ();  // some Node method
  }

Returns

an iterator which refers to the first Node in the container.

Nodes are at the heart of any ns-3 simulation. One of the first tasks that any simulation needs to do is to create a number of nodes. This method automates that task, and adds the ability to specify systemId for distributed simulations.

GetGlobal()

NodeContainer ns3::NodeContainer::GetGlobal ( )

static

Create a NodeContainer that contains a list of all nodes created through NodeContainer::Create() and stored in the ns3::NodeList.

Whenever a Node is created, a Ptr<Node> is added to a global list of all nodes in the system. It is sometimes useful to be able to get to all nodes in one place. This method creates a NodeContainer that is initialized to contain all of the simulation nodes,

Returns

a NodeContainer which contains a list of all Nodes.

GetN()

uint32_t ns3::NodeContainer::GetN

(

)

const

Get the number of Ptr<Node> stored in this container.

Nodes can be retrieved from the container in two ways. First, directly by an index into the container, and second, using an iterator. This method is used in the direct method and is typically used to define an ending condition in a for-loop that runs through the stored Nodes

uint32_t nNodes = container.GetN ();
for (uint32_t i = 0; i < nNodes; ++i)
  {
    Ptr<Node> p = container.Get (i);
    i->method ();  // some Node method
  }

Returns

the number of Ptr<Node> stored in this container.
