Detailed Description

A simple client.

Sends packets using PacketSocket. It does not require (or use) IP.

Packets are sent as soon as PacketSocketClient::Start is called. The application has the same requirements as the PacketSocket for what concerns the underlying NetDevice and the Address scheme. It is meant to be used in ns-3 tests.

The application will send ‘MaxPackets’ packets, one every ‘Interval’ time. Packet size (‘PacketSize’) can be configured. Provides a "Tx" Traced Callback (transmitted packets, source address).

Note: packets larger than the NetDevice MTU will not be sent.

Member Function Documentation

◆ DoDispose()

void ns3::PacketSocketClient::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::Application.

Returns
The priority value

+ Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ Send()

void ns3::PacketSocketClient::Send ( )
private

Send a packet.

Either Interval and MaxPackets may be zero, but not both. If Interval is zero, the PacketSocketClient will send MaxPackets packets without any delay into the socket. If MaxPackets is zero, then the PacketSocketClient will send every Interval until the application is stopped.
