Detailed Description

Control the virtual time and the execution of simulation events.

Enumeration Type Documentation

anonymous enum

Context enum values.

Enumerator
NO_CONTEXT 

Flag for events not associated with any particular context.

Definition at line 188 of file simulator.h.

Function Documentation

Time ns3::Now ( void  )

create an ns3::Time instance which contains the current simulation time.

This is really a shortcut for the ns3::Simulator::Now method. It is typically used as shown below to schedule an event which expires at the absolute time "2 seconds":

Simulator::Schedule (Seconds (2.0) - Now (), &my_function);
Returns
The current simulation time.
