Detailed Description

A simple client.

Sends packets using PacketSocket. It does not require (or use) IP.

Packets are sent as soon as PacketSocketClient::Start is called. The application has the same requirements as the PacketSocket for what concerns the underlying NetDevice and the Address scheme. It is meant to be used in ns-3 tests.

The application will send `MaxPackets' packets, one every `Interval' time. Packet size (`PacketSize') can be configured. Provides a "Tx" Traced Callback (transmitted packets, source address).

Note: packets larger than the NetDevice MTU will not be sent.

Config Paths

ns3::PacketSocketClient is accessible through the following paths with Config::Set and Config::Connect:

Member Function Documentation

void ns3::PacketSocketClient::DoDispose ( void )

protectedvirtual

This method is called by Object::Dispose or by the object's destructor, whichever comes first.

Subclasses are expected to implement their real destruction code in an overriden 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.

Reimplemented from ns3::Application.
