Detailed Description

Network device transmission queue.

This class stores information about a single transmission queue of a network device that is exposed to queue discs. Such information includes the state of the transmission queue (whether it has been stopped or not) and data used by techniques such as Byte Queue Limits.

This class roughly models the struct netdev_queue of Linux.

Member Function Documentation

bool ns3::NetDeviceQueue::HasWakeCallbackSet ( void  ) const
virtual

Check whether a wake callback has been set on this device queue.

Returns
true if the wake callback has been set.

Definition at line 116 of file net-device.cc.

References ns3::Callback< R, T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8, T9 >::IsNull(), and m_wakeCallback.

+ Here is the call graph for this function:

bool ns3::NetDeviceQueue::IsStopped ( void  ) const

Get the status of the device transmission queue.

Returns
true if the (hardware) transmission queue is stopped.

Called by queue discs to enquire about the status of a given transmission queue. This is the analogous to the netif_tx_queue_stopped function of the Linux kernel.

Definition at line 80 of file net-device.cc.

References m_stopped.

void ns3::NetDeviceQueue::SetWakeCallback ( WakeCallback  cb)
virtual

Set the wake callback.

Parameters
cbthe callback to set

Called by the traffic control layer to set the wake callback. The wake callback is invoked by the device whenever it is needed to "wake" the upper layers (i.e., solicitate the queue disc associated with this transmission queue (in case of multi-queue aware queue discs) or to the network device (otherwise) to send packets down to the device).

Definition at line 110 of file net-device.cc.

References m_wakeCallback.

void ns3::NetDeviceQueue::Start ( void  )
virtual

Called by the device to start this (hardware) transmission queue.

This is the analogous to the netif_tx_start_queue function of the Linux kernel.

Definition at line 86 of file net-device.cc.

References m_stopped.

Referenced by Wake().

+ Here is the caller graph for this function:

void ns3::NetDeviceQueue::Stop ( void  )
virtual

Called by the device to stop this (hardware) transmission queue.

This is the analogous to the netif_tx_stop_queue function of the Linux kernel.

Definition at line 92 of file net-device.cc.

References m_stopped.

void ns3::NetDeviceQueue::Wake ( void  )
virtual

Called by the device to wake the queue disc associated with this (hardware) transmission queue.

This is done by invoking the wake callback. This is the analogous to the netif_tx_wake_queue function of the Linux kernel.

Definition at line 98 of file net-device.cc.
