Detailed Description

Packet header for Ethernet.

This class can be used to add a header to an ethernet packet that will specify the source and destination addresses and the length of the packet. Eventually the class will be improved to also support VLAN tags in packet headers.

Doxygen introspection did not find any typical Config paths.
No Attributes are defined for this type.
No TraceSources are defined for this type.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ns3::EthernetHeader::EthernetHeader ( bool hasPreamble )

Construct a null ethernet header.

Parameters

hasPreamble if true, insert and remove an ethernet preamble from the packet, if false, does not insert and remove it.

Definition at line 35 of file ethernet-header.cc.

References NS_LOG_FUNCTION.

ns3::EthernetHeader::EthernetHeader ( )

Construct a null ethernet header By default, does not add or remove an ethernet preamble.

Definition at line 42 of file ethernet-header.cc.

References NS_LOG_FUNCTION.

Member Function Documentation

uint32_t ns3::EthernetHeader::Deserialize ( Buffer::Iterator start )

virtual

Parameters

start an iterator which points to where the header should written.

Returns: the number of bytes read.

This method is used by Packet::RemoveHeader to re-create a header from the byte buffer of a packet. The data read is expected to match bit-for-bit the representation of this header in real networks.

Implements ns3::Header.

Here is the call graph for this function:

Mac48Address ns3::EthernetHeader::GetDestination ( void ) const

Returns: The destination address of this packet

Here is the caller graph for this function:

uint32_t ns3::EthernetHeader::GetHeaderSize ( void ) const

Returns: The size of the header

Here is the call graph for this function:

TypeId ns3::EthernetHeader::GetInstanceTypeId ( void ) const

virtual

Returns: the TypeId associated to the most-derived type of this instance.

This method is typically implemented by ns3::Object::GetInstanceTypeId but some classes which derive from ns3::ObjectBase directly have to implement it themselves.

Implements ns3::ObjectBase.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

ethernet_header_t ns3::EthernetHeader::GetPacketType ( void ) const

Returns: The type of packet (only basic Ethernet is currently supported)

uint64_t ns3::EthernetHeader::GetPreambleSfd ( void ) const

Returns: The value of the PreambleSfd field

Definition at line 69 of file ethernet-header.cc.

References m_preambleSfd, and NS_LOG_FUNCTION.

uint32_t ns3::EthernetHeader::GetSerializedSize ( void ) const

virtual

Returns: the expected size of the header.

This method is used by Packet::AddHeader to store a header into the byte buffer of a packet. This method should return the number of bytes which are needed to store the full header data by Serialize.

void ns3::EthernetHeader::Print ( std::ostream & os ) const

virtual

Parameters

os output stream This method is used by Packet::Print to print the content of a trailer as ascii data to a c++ output stream. Although the trailer is free to format its output as it wishes, it is recommended to follow a few rules to integrate with the packet pretty printer: start with flags, small field values located between a pair of parens. Values should be separated by whitespace. Follow the parens with the important fields, separated by whitespace. i.e.: (field1 val1 field2 val2 field3 val3) field4 val4 field5 val5

Parameters

start an iterator which points to where the header should be written.

This method is used by Packet::AddHeader to store a header into the byte buffer of a packet. The data written is expected to match bit-for-bit the representation of this header in a real network.
