Member Function Documentation

◆ AssignStreams()

int64_t ns3::ApplicationHelper::AssignStreams	(	NodeContainer	c,
		int64_t	stream )

Assigns a unique (monotonically increasing) stream number to all applications that match the configured type of this application helper instance.

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

Parameters

stream	first stream index to use
c	NodeContainer of the set of nodes for which the application should be modified to use a fixed stream

Returns: the number of stream indices assigned by this helper

◆ AssignStreamsToAllApps()

int64_t ns3::ApplicationHelper::AssignStreamsToAllApps	(	NodeContainer	c,
		int64_t	stream )

static

Assign a fixed random variable stream number to the random variables used by all the applications.

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

Parameters

stream	first stream index to use
c	NodeContainer of the set of nodes for which their applications should be modified to use a fixed stream

Returns: the number of stream indices assigned by this helper
