Detailed Description

Access to the IPv4 forwarding table, interfaces, and configuration.

This class defines the API to manipulate the following aspects of the IPv4 implementation:

  1. set/get an Ipv4RoutingProtocol
  2. register a NetDevice for use by the Ipv4 layer (basically, to create Ipv4-related state such as addressing and neighbor cache that is associated with a NetDevice)
  3. manipulate the status of the NetDevice from the Ipv4 perspective, such as marking it as Up or Down,
  4. adding, deleting, and getting addresses associated to the Ipv4 interfaces.
  5. exporting Ipv4 configuration attributes

Each NetDevice has conceptually a single Ipv4 interface associated with it (the corresponding structure in the Linux Ipv4 implementation is struct in_device). Each interface may have one or more Ipv4 addresses associated with it. Each Ipv4 address may have different subnet mask, scope, etc., so all of this per-address information is stored in an Ipv4InterfaceAddress class (the corresponding structure in Linux is struct in_ifaddr)

Ipv4 attributes such as whether IP forwarding is enabled and disabled are also stored in this class

TO DO: Add API to allow access to the Ipv4 neighbor table

◆ IsDestinationAddress()

virtual bool ns3::Ipv4::IsDestinationAddress ( Ipv4Address address,

Determine whether address and interface corresponding to received packet can be accepted for local delivery.

Parameters
addressThe IP address being considered
iifThe incoming Ipv4 interface index
Returns
true if the address is associated with the interface index

This method can be used to determine whether a received packet has an acceptable address for local delivery on the host. The address may be a unicast, multicast, or broadcast address. This method will return true if address is an exact match of a unicast address on one of the host's interfaces (see below), if address corresponds to a multicast group that the host has joined (and the incoming device is acceptable), or if address corresponds to a broadcast address.

If the Ipv4 attribute StrongEndSystemModel is true, the address must match one assigned to the incoming device. If the attribute is false, the unicast address may match any of the Ipv4 addresses on any interface.

Remove a L4 protocol from a specific interface.

Parameters
protocolL4 protocol to remove.
interfaceIndexinterface index.

◆ RemoveAddress() [1/2]

virtual bool ns3::Ipv4::RemoveAddress ( uint32_t interface,
Ipv4Address address )
pure virtual

Remove the given address on named Ipv4 interface.

Parameters
interfaceInterface number of an Ipv4 interface
addressThe address to remove
Returns
true if the operation succeeded

◆ RemoveAddress() [2/2]

virtual bool ns3::Ipv4::RemoveAddress ( uint32_t interface,
uint32_t addressIndex )
pure virtual

Remove the address at addressIndex on named interface.

The addressIndex for all higher indices will decrement by one after this method is called; so, for example, to remove 5 addresses from an interface i, one could call RemoveAddress (i, 0); 5 times.

Parameters
interfaceInterface number of an Ipv4 interface
addressIndexindex of Ipv4InterfaceAddress to remove
Returns
true if the operation succeeded

Implemented in ns3::Ipv4L3ClickProtocol, and ns3::Ipv4L3Protocol.

◆ SelectSourceAddress()

virtual Ipv4Address ns3::Ipv4::SelectSourceAddress ( Ptr< const NetDevice > device,
Ipv4Address dst,
Ipv4InterfaceAddress::InterfaceAddressScope_e scope )
pure virtual

Return the first primary source address with scope less than or equal to the requested scope, to use in sending a packet to destination dst out of the specified device.

This method mirrors the behavior of Linux inet_select_addr() and is provided because interfaces may have multiple IP addresses configured on them with different scopes, and with a primary and secondary status. Secondary addresses are never returned.

See also
Ipv4InterfaceAddress

If a non-zero device pointer is provided, the method first tries to return a primary address that is configured on that device, and whose subnet matches that of dst and whose scope is less than or equal to the requested scope. If a primary address does not match the subnet of dst but otherwise matches the scope, it is returned. If no such address on the device is found, the other devices are searched in order of their interface index, but not considering dst as a factor in the search. Because a loopback interface is typically the first one configured on a node, it will be the first alternate device to be tried. Addresses scoped at LINK scope are not returned in this phase.

If no device pointer is provided, the same logic as above applies, only that there is no preferred device that is consulted first. This means that if the device pointer is null, input parameter dst will be ignored.

If there are no possible addresses to return, a warning log message is issued and the all-zeroes address is returned.

Parameters
deviceoutput NetDevice (optionally provided, only to constrain the search)
dstDestination address to match, if device is provided
scopeScope of returned address must be less than or equal to this
Returns
the first primary Ipv4Address that meets the search criteria
