Detailed Description

An ARP cache.


A cached lookup table for translating layer 3 addresses to layer 2. This implementation does lookups from IPv4 to a MAC address

Config Paths

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

  • "/NodeList/[i]/$ns3::Ipv4L3Protocol/InterfaceList/[i]/ArpCache"

◆ DoDispose()

void ns3::ArpCache::DoDispose ( void  )
privatevirtual

Destructor implementation.

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

Subclasses are expected to implement their real destruction code in an overridden 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::Object.
