Detailed Description

This class implements the Path MTU cache, as defined by RFC 1981.

Introspection did not find any typical Config paths.

The Path MTU is stored according to the destination address, and it is cleared upon expiration (default validity time is 10 minutes).

The "infinite lifetime" PMTU entry type is not implemented, since it is useful only in an very limited number of cases. See the RFC for further details.


Attributes

  • CacheExpiryTime: Validity time for a Path MTU entry. Default is 10 minutes, minimum is 5 minutes.
    • Set with class: ns3::TimeValue
    • Underlying type: Time +300000000000.0ns:+9223372036854775807.0ns
    • Initial value: +600000000000.0ns
    • Flags: construct write read

No TraceSources are defined for this type.
Size of this type is 136 bytes (on a 64-bit architecture).
