◆ AddLinkChangeCallback()

void ns3::OpenFlowSwitchNetDevice::AddLinkChangeCallback ( Callback< void > callback )

overridevirtual

Parameters

callback the callback to invoke

Add a callback invoked whenever the link status changes to UP. This callback is typically used by the IP/ARP layer to flush the ARP cache and by IPv6 stack to flush NDISC cache whenever the link goes up.

Implements ns3::NetDevice.

Definition at line 260 of file openflow-switch-net-device.cc.

◆ AddSwitchPort()

int ns3::OpenFlowSwitchNetDevice::AddSwitchPort ( Ptr< NetDevice > switchPort )

Add a 'port' to a switch device.

This method adds a new switch port to a OpenFlowSwitchNetDevice, so that the new switch port NetDevice becomes part of the switch and L2 frames start being forwarded to/from this NetDevice.

Note: The netdevice that is being added as switch port must not have an IP address. In order to add IP connectivity to a bridging node you must enable IP on the OpenFlowSwitchNetDevice itself, never on its port netdevices.

Parameters

switchPort The port to add.

Returns: 0 if everything's ok, otherwise an error number. Possible error numbers: EXFULL

◆ AddVPort()

int ns3::OpenFlowSwitchNetDevice::AddVPort ( const ofp_vport_mod * ovpm )

Add a virtual port to a switch device.

The Ericsson OFSID has the concept of virtual ports and virtual port tables. These are implemented in the OpenFlowSwitchNetDevice, but don't have an understood use [perhaps it may have to do with MPLS integration].

Possible error numbers: EINVAL

Parameters

ovpm	The data for adding a virtual port.

Returns: 0 if everything's ok, otherwise an error number.

◆ DoDispose()

void ns3::OpenFlowSwitchNetDevice::DoDispose ( )

overrideprotectedvirtual

Destructor implementation.

This method is called by Dispose() or by the Object's destructor, whichever comes first.

Subclasses are expected to implement their real destruction code in an overridden version of this method and chain up to their parent's implementation once they are done. i.e, for simplicity, the destructor of every subclass should be empty and its content should be moved to the associated DoDispose() method.

It is safe to call GetObject() from within this method.

Reimplemented from ns3::Object.

Called from the OpenFlow Interface to output the Packet on either a Port or the Controller.

Parameters

packet_uid	Packet UID; used to fetch the packet and its metadata.
in_port	The index of the port the Packet was initially received on.
max_len	The maximum number of bytes the caller wants to be sent; a value of 0 indicates the entire packet should be sent. Used when outputting to controller.
out_port	The port we want to output on.
ignore_no_fwd	If true, Ports that are set to not forward are forced to forward.

Parameters

p	The port to get the description from.
desc	A pointer to the description message; used to fill the description message with the data from the port.

◆ GetMulticast() [1/2]

Address ns3::OpenFlowSwitchNetDevice::GetMulticast ( Ipv4Address multicastGroup ) const

overridevirtual

Make and return a MAC multicast address using the provided multicast group.

RFC 1112 says that an Ipv4 host group address is mapped to an Ethernet multicast address by placing the low-order 23-bits of the IP address into the low-order 23 bits of the Ethernet multicast address 01-00-5E-00-00-00 (hex). Similar RFCs exist for Ipv6 and Eui64 mappings. This method performs the multicast address creation function appropriate to the underlying MAC address of the device. This MAC address is encapsulated in an abstract Address to avoid dependencies on the exact MAC address format.

In the case of net devices that do not support multicast, clients are expected to test NetDevice::IsMulticast and avoid attempting to map multicast packets. Subclasses of NetDevice that do support multicasting are expected to override this method and provide an implementation appropriate to the particular device.

Parameters

multicastGroup The IP address for the multicast group destination of the packet.

Returns: The MAC multicast Address used to send packets to the provided multicast group.

Warning: Calling this method is invalid if IsMulticast returns not true.

in_port	The index of the port the Packet was initially received on.
out_port	The port we want to output on.

Supported capabilities and actions are defined in the openflow interface. To recap, flow status, flow table status, port status, virtual port table status can all be requested. It can also transmit over multiple physical interfaces.

It supports every action: outputting over a port, and all of the flow table manipulation actions: setting the 802.1q VLAN ID, the 802.1q priority, stripping the 802.1 header, setting the Ethernet source address and destination, setting the IP source address and destination, setting the TCP/UDP source address and destination, and setting the MPLS label and EXP bits.
