private

Flushes routing caches if required.

◆ DoDispose()

void ns3::Ipv4NixVectorRouting::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.

◆ FindNetDeviceForNixIndex()

uint32_t ns3::Ipv4NixVectorRouting::FindNetDeviceForNixIndex ( uint32_t  nodeIndex,

the index of the NetDevice in the node.

const Ipv4Header header,
Ptr< const NetDevice idev,
UnicastForwardCallback  ucb,
MulticastForwardCallback  mcb,
LocalDeliverCallback  lcb,
ErrorCallback  ecb 
)
privatevirtual

Route an input packet (to be forwarded or locally delivered)

This lookup is used in the forwarding process. The packet is handed over to the Ipv4RoutingProtocol, and will get forwarded onward by one of the callbacks. The Linux equivalent is ip_route_input(). There are four valid outcomes, and a matching callbacks to handle each.

Parameters
preceived packet
headerinput parameter used to form a search key for a route
idevPointer to ingress network device
ucbCallback for the case in which the packet is to be forwarded as unicast
mcbCallback for the case in which the packet is to be forwarded as multicast
lcbCallback for the case in which the packet is to be locally delivered

true if the Ipv4RoutingProtocol takes responsibility for forwarding or delivering the packet, false otherwise

Implements ns3::Ipv4RoutingProtocol.

virtual Ptr<Ipv4Route> ns3::Ipv4NixVectorRouting::RouteOutput ( Ptr< Packet p,
const Ipv4Header header,
Ptr< NetDevice oif,
Socket::SocketErrno sockerr 
)
privatevirtual

Query routing cache for an existing route, for an outbound packet.

This lookup is used by transport protocols. It does not cause any packet to be forwarded, and is synchronous. Can be used for multicast or unicast. The Linux equivalent is ip_route_output()

The header input parameter may have an uninitialized value for the source address, but the destination address should always be properly set by the caller.

Parameters
ppacket to be routed. Note that this method may modify the packet. Callers may also pass in a null pointer.
headerinput parameter (used to form key to search for the route)
oifOutput interface Netdevice. May be zero, or may be bound via socket options to a particular output interface.
sockerrOutput parameter; socket errno
Returns
a code that indicates what happened in the lookup

Set the Node pointer of the node for which this routing protocol is to be placed.
