Detailed Description

A single link record for a link state advertisement.

The GlobalRoutingLinkRecord is modeled after the OSPF link record field of a Link State Advertisement. Right now we will only see two types of link records corresponding to a stub network and a point-to-point link (channel).

Definition at line 42 of file global-router-interface.h.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ LinkType

Enumeration of the possible types of Global Routing Link Records.

These values are defined in the OSPF spec. We currently only use PointToPoint and StubNetwork types.

Enumerator
Unknown 

Uninitialized Link Record.

PointToPoint 

Record representing a point to point channel.

TransitNetwork 

Unused – for future OSPF compatibility

StubNetwork 

Record represents a leaf node network.

VirtualLink 

Unused – for future OSPF compatibility

Definition at line 54 of file global-router-interface.h.

Member Function Documentation

◆ GetLinkData()

Ipv4Address ns3::GlobalRoutingLinkRecord::GetLinkData ( ) const

Get the Link Data field of the Global Routing Link Record.

For an OSPF type 1 link (PointToPoint) the Link Data will be the IP address of the node of the local side of the link.

For an OSPF type 3 link (StubNetwork), the Link Data will be the network mask

Returns
The Ipv4Address corresponding to the Link Data field of the record.

+ Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ GetLinkId()

Ipv4Address ns3::GlobalRoutingLinkRecord::GetLinkId ( ) const

Get the Link ID field of the Global Routing Link Record.

For an OSPF type 1 link (PointToPoint) the Link ID will be the Router ID of the neighboring router.

For an OSPF type 3 link (StubNetwork), the Link ID will be the adjacent neighbor's IP address

Returns
The Ipv4Address corresponding to the Link ID field of the record.

+ Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ GetLinkType()

GlobalRoutingLinkRecord::LinkType ns3::GlobalRoutingLinkRecord::GetLinkType ( ) const

Get the Link Type field of the Global Routing Link Record.

The Link Type describes the kind of link a given record represents. The values are defined by OSPF.

LinkType
Returns
The LinkType of the current Global Routing Link Record.

+ Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ GetMetric()

uint16_t ns3::GlobalRoutingLinkRecord::GetMetric ( ) const

Get the Metric Data field of the Global Routing Link Record.

The metric is an abstract cost associated with forwarding a packet across a link. A sum of metrics must have a well-defined meaning. That is, you shouldn't use bandwidth as a metric (how does the sum of the bandwidth of two hops relate to the cost of sending a packet); rather you should use something like delay.

Returns
The metric field of the Global Routing Link Record.

◆ SetLinkData()

void ns3::GlobalRoutingLinkRecord::SetLinkData ( Ipv4Address addr)

Set the Link Data field of the Global Routing Link Record.

For an OSPF type 1 link (PointToPoint) the Link Data must be the IP address of the node of the local side of the link.

For an OSPF type 3 link (StubNetwork), the Link Data must be set to the network mask

Parameters
addrAn Ipv4Address to store in the Link Data field of the record.

Set the Link ID field of the Global Routing Link Record.

For an OSPF type 1 link (PointToPoint) the Link ID must be the Router ID of the neighboring router.

For an OSPF type 3 link (StubNetwork), the Link ID must be the adjacent neighbor's IP address

Parameters
addrAn Ipv4Address to store in the Link ID field of the record.
