Detailed Description

Send as much traffic as possible, trying to fill the bandwidth.


This traffic generator simply sends data as fast as possible up to MaxBytes or until the application is stopped (if MaxBytes is zero). Once the lower layer send buffer is filled, it waits until space is free to send more data, essentially keeping a constant flow of data. Only SOCK_STREAM and SOCK_SEQPACKET sockets are supported. For example, TCP sockets can be used, but UDP sockets can not be used.

If the attribute "EnableSeqTsSizeHeader" is enabled, the application will use some bytes of the payload to store an header with a sequence number, a timestamp, and the size of the packet sent. Support for extracting statistics from this header have been added to ns3::PacketSink (enable its "EnableSeqTsSizeHeader" attribute), or users may extract the header via trace sources.

Config Paths

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

  • "/NodeList/[i]/ApplicationList/[i]/$ns3::BulkSendApplication"

Attributes

  • SendSize: The amount of data to send each time.
    • Set with class: ns3::UintegerValue

◆ DoDispose()

void ns3::BulkSendApplication::DoDispose ( void  )
protectedvirtual

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::Application.

void ns3::BulkSendApplication::SendData ( const Address from,

private

◆ SetMaxBytes()

void ns3::BulkSendApplication::SetMaxBytes ( uint64_t  maxBytes)

Set the upper bound for the total number of bytes to send.

Once this bound is reached, no more application bytes are sent. If the application is stopped during the simulation and restarted, the total number of bytes sent is not reset; however, the maxBytes bound is still effective and the application will continue sending up to maxBytes. The value zero for maxBytes means that there is no upper bound; i.e. data is sent until the application or simulation is stopped.

Parameters
maxBytesthe upper bound of bytes to send

void ns3::BulkSendApplication::StopApplication ( void  )
