Member Function Documentation

◆ AssignStreams()

int64_t ns3::SixLowPanHelper::AssignStreams	(	NetDeviceContainer	c,
		int64_t	stream
	)

Assign a fixed random variable stream number to the random variables used by this model.

Return the number of streams (possibly zero) that have been assigned. The Install() method should have previously been called by the user.

Parameters

[in]	c	NetDeviceContainer of the set of net devices for which the SixLowPanNetDevice should be modified to use a fixed stream.
[in]	stream	First stream index to use.

Returns: The number of stream indices assigned by this helper.

Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ Install()

NetDeviceContainer ns3::SixLowPanHelper::Install ( NetDeviceContainer c )

Install the SixLoWPAN stack on top of an existing NetDevice.

This function requires a set of properly configured NetDevices passed in as the parameter "c". The new NetDevices will have to be used instead of the original ones. In this way these SixLoWPAN devices will behave as shims between the NetDevices passed in and IPv6.

Note that only IPv6 (and related protocols, such as ICMPv6) can be transmitted over a 6LoWPAN interface. Any other protocol (e.g., IPv4) will be discarded by 6LoWPAN.

Other protocols (e.g., IPv4) could be used on the original NetDevices with some limitations. See the manual for a complete discussion.
