Detailed Description

A Candidate Queue used in routing calculations.

The CandidateQueue is used in the OSPF shortest path computations. It is a priority queue used to store candidates for the shortest path to a given network.

The queue holds Shortest Path First Vertex pointers and orders them according to the lowest value of the field m_distanceFromRoot. Remaining vertices are ordered according to increasing distance. This implements a priority queue.

Although a STL priority_queue almost does what we want, the requirement for a Find () operation, the dynamic nature of the data and the derived requirement for a Reorder () operation led us to implement this simple enhanced priority queue.

Member Function Documentation

void ns3::CandidateQueue::Clear ( void  )

bool ns3::CandidateQueue::CompareSPFVertex ( const SPFVertex v1,
const SPFVertex v2 
)
staticprivate

return true if v1 < v2

SPFVertexes are added into the queue according to the ordering defined by this method. If v1 should be popped before v2, this method return true; false otherwise

Parameters
v1first operand
v2second operand
Returns
True if v1 should be popped before v2; false otherwise

+ Here is the caller graph for this function:

bool ns3::CandidateQueue::Empty ( void  ) const

Test the Candidate Queue to determine if it is empty.

Returns
True if the queue is empty, false otherwise.

References m_candidates, and NS_LOG_FUNCTION.

SPFVertex * ns3::CandidateQueue::Find ( const Ipv4Address  addr) const

Searches the Candidate Queue for a Shortest Path First Vertex pointer that points to a vertex having the given IP address.

Parameters
addrThe IP address to search for.
Returns
The SPFVertex* pointer corresponding to the given IP address.

Parameters
srobject to assign
Returns
copied object
SPFVertex * ns3::CandidateQueue::Pop ( void  )

Pop the Shortest Path First Vertex pointer at the top of the queue.

The caller is given the responsibility for releasing the resources associated with the vertex.

Top ()
Returns
The Shortest Path First Vertex pointer at the top of the queue.

+ Here is the caller graph for this function:

void ns3::CandidateQueue::Push ( SPFVertex vNew)

Push a Shortest Path First Vertex pointer onto the queue according to the priority scheme.

On completion, the top of the queue will hold the Shortest Path First Vertex pointer that points to a vertex having lowest value of the field m_distanceFromRoot. Remaining vertices are ordered according to increasing distance.

Parameters
vNewThe Shortest Path First Vertex to add to the queue.

void ns3::CandidateQueue::Reorder ( void  )

Reorders the Candidate Queue according to the priority scheme.

On completion, the top of the queue will hold the Shortest Path First Vertex pointer that points to a vertex having lowest value of the field m_distanceFromRoot. Remaining vertices are ordered according to increasing distance.

This method is provided in case the values of m_distanceFromRoot change during the routing calculations.
