Member Enumeration Documentation

Packet Tag maximum size.

The maximum size (in bytes) of a Tag is stored in this constant.

Internal:
Ideally, TagData would be 32 bytes in size, so they require no padding on 64-bit architectures. (The architecture affects the size because of the next pointer.) This would leave 18 bytes for data. However, ns3:Ipv6PacketInfoTag needs 19 bytes! The current implementation allows 20 bytes, which gives TagData a size of 30 bytes on 32-byte machines (which gets padded with 2 bytes), and 34 bytes on 64-bit machines, which gets padded to 40 bytes.
