Detailed Description

This device does not have a helper and assumes 48-bit mac addressing; the default address assigned to each device is zero, so you must assign a real address to use it.

There is also the possibility to add an ErrorModel if you want to force losses on the device.

Member Function Documentation

void ns3::SimpleNetDevice::AddLinkChangeCallback ( Callback< void > callback )

virtual

Parameters

callback the callback to invoke

Add a callback invoked whenever the link status changes to UP. This callback is typically used by the IP/ARP layer to flush the ARP cache and by IPv6 stack to flush NDISC cache whenever the link goes up.

void ns3::SimpleNetDevice::Receive	(	Ptr< Packet >	packet,
		uint16_t	protocol,
		Mac48Address	to,
		Mac48Address	from
	)

packet	Packet received on the channel
protocol	protocol number
to	address packet should be sent to
from	address packet was sent from

packet	packet sent from above down to Network Device
dest	mac address of the destination (already resolved)
protocolNumber	identifies the type of payload contained in this packet. Used to call the right L3Protocol when the packet is received.

packet	packet sent from above down to Network Device
source	source mac address (so called "MAC spoofing")
dest	mac address of the destination (already resolved)
protocolNumber	identifies the type of payload contained in this packet. Used to call the right L3Protocol when the packet is received.
