The Traffic Control layer aims at introducing an equivalent of the Linux Traffic Control infrastructure into ns-3.
Introspection did not find any typical Config paths.
The Traffic Control layer sits in between the NetDevices (L2) and any network protocol (e.g., IP). It is in charge of processing packets and performing actions on them: scheduling, dropping, marking, policing, etc.
Traffic control layer class
This object represents the main interface of the Traffic Control Module. Basically, we manage both IN and OUT directions (sometimes called RX and TX, respectively). The OUT direction is easy to follow, since it involves direct calls: upper layer (e.g. IP) calls the Send method on an instance of this class, which then calls the Enqueue method of the QueueDisc associated with the device. The Dequeue method of the QueueDisc finally calls the Send method of the NetDevice.
The IN direction uses a little trick to reduce dependencies between modules. In simple words, we use Callbacks to connect upper layer (which should register their Receive callback through RegisterProtocolHandler) and NetDevices.
An example of the IN connection between this layer and IP layer is the following:
On the node, for IPv4 and ARP packet, is registered the TrafficControlLayer::Receive callback. At the same time, on the TrafficControlLayer object, is registered the callbacks associated to the upper layers (IPv4 or ARP).
When the node receives an IPv4 or ARP packet, it calls the Receive method on TrafficControlLayer, that calls the right upper-layer callback once it finishes the operations on the packet received.
Discrimination through callbacks (in other words: what is the right upper-layer callback for this packet?) is done through checks over the device and the protocol number.

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.

Initialize() implementation.
This method is called only once by Initialize(). If the user calls Initialize() multiple times, DoInitialize() is called only the first time.
Subclasses are expected to override this method and chain up to their parent's implementation once they are done. It is safe to call GetObject() and AggregateObject() from within this method.

Notify all Objects aggregated to this one of a new Object being aggregated.
This method is invoked whenever two sets of Objects are aggregated together. It is invoked exactly once for each Object in both sets. This method can be overridden by subclasses who wish to be notified of aggregation events. These subclasses must chain up to their base class NotifyNewAggregate() method.
It is safe to call GetObject() and AggregateObject() from within this method.
