Member Function Documentation

◆ AddContext()

void ns3::SixLowPanHelper::AddContext	(	NetDeviceContainer	c,
		uint8_t	contextId,
		Ipv6Prefix	context,
		Time	validity )

Adds a compression Context to a set of NetDevices.

This function installs one Compression Context on a set of NetDevices. The context is used only in IPHC compression and decompression.

Parameters

[in]	c	The NetDevice container.
[in]	contextId	The context id (must be less than 16).
[in]	context	The context prefix.
[in]	validity	the context validity time (relative to the actual time).

◆ AssignStreams()

int64_t ns3::SixLowPanHelper::AssignStreams	(	NetDeviceContainer	c,
		int64_t	stream )

Assign a fixed random variable stream number to the random variables used by this model.

Return the number of streams (possibly zero) that have been assigned. The Install() method should have previously been called by the user.

Parameters

[in]	c	NetDeviceContainer of the set of net devices for which the SixLowPanNetDevice should be modified to use a fixed stream.
[in]	stream	First stream index to use.

Returns: The number of stream indices assigned by this helper.

Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ Install()

NetDeviceContainer ns3::SixLowPanHelper::Install ( NetDeviceContainer c )

Install the SixLoWPAN stack on top of an existing NetDevice.

This function requires a set of properly configured NetDevices passed in as the parameter "c". The new NetDevices will have to be used instead of the original ones. In this way these SixLoWPAN devices will behave as shims between the NetDevices passed in and IPv6.

Note that only IPv6 (and related protocols, such as ICMPv6) can be transmitted over a 6LoWPAN interface. Any other protocol (e.g., IPv4) will be discarded by 6LoWPAN.

Other protocols (e.g., IPv4) could be used on the original NetDevices with some limitations. See the manual for a complete discussion.

Note: IPv6 stack must be installed after SixLoWPAN, using the SixLoWPAN NetDevices. See the example in the examples directory.

Parameters

[in] c The NetDevice container.

Returns: A container with the newly created SixLowPanNetDevices.

◆ InvalidateContext()

void ns3::SixLowPanHelper::InvalidateContext	(	NetDeviceContainer	c,
		uint8_t	contextId )

Invalidates a compression Context in a set of NetDevices.

An invalid context is used only in IPHC decompression and not in IPHC compression.

This is necessary to avoid that a context reaching its validity lifetime can not be used for decompression whie packets are traveling the network.

Parameters

[in]	c	The NetDevice container.
[in]	contextId	The context id (must be less than 16).

◆ RemoveContext()

void ns3::SixLowPanHelper::RemoveContext	(	NetDeviceContainer	c,
		uint8_t	contextId )

Remove a compression Context in a set of NetDevices.

The context is removed immediately from the contexts in the devices.

Parameters

[in]	c	The NetDevice container.
[in]	contextId	The context id (must be less than 16).

◆ RenewContext()

void ns3::SixLowPanHelper::RenewContext	(	NetDeviceContainer	c,
		uint8_t	contextId,
		Time	validity )

Renew a compression Context in a set of NetDevices.

The context will have its lifetime extended and its validity for compression re-enabled.

Parameters

[in]	c	The NetDevice container.
[in]	contextId	The context id (must be less than 16).
[in]	validity	the context validity time (relative to the actual time).

◆ SetDeviceAttribute()

void ns3::SixLowPanHelper::SetDeviceAttribute	(	std::string	n1,
		const AttributeValue &	v1 )

Set an attribute on each ns3::SixlowpanNetDevice created by SixlowpanHelper::Install.

Parameters

n1	[in] The name of the attribute to set.
v1	[in] The value of the attribute to set.
