Detailed Description

A global router implementation.

This singleton object can query interface each node in the system for a GlobalRouter interface. For those nodes, it fetches one or more Link State Advertisements and stores them in a local database. Then, it can compute shortest paths on a per-node basis to all routers, and finally configure each of the node's forwarding tables.

The design is guided by OSPFv2 RFC 2328 section 16.1.1 and quagga ospfd.

◆ CheckForStubNode()

bool ns3::GlobalRouteManagerImpl::CheckForStubNode ( Ipv4Address root )

private

private

Return the interface number corresponding to a given IP address and mask.

This is a wrapper around GetInterfaceForPrefix(), but we first have to find the right node pointer to pass to that function. If no such interface is found, return -1 (note: unit test framework for routing assumes -1 to be a legal return value)

◆ SPFGetNextLink()

GlobalRoutingLinkRecord * ns3::GlobalRouteManagerImpl::SPFGetNextLink	(	SPFVertex *	v,
		SPFVertex *	w,
		GlobalRoutingLinkRecord *	prev_link
	)

private

Search for a link between two vertices.

This method is derived from quagga ospf_get_next_link ()

First search the Global Router Link Records of vertex v for one representing a point-to point link to vertex w.

What is done depends on prev_link. Contrary to appearances, prev_link just acts as a flag here. If prev_link is NULL, we return the first Global Router Link Record we find that describes a point-to-point link from v to w. If prev_link is not NULL, we return a Global Router Link Record representing a possible second link from v to w.

Parameters

v	first vertex
w	second vertex
prev_link	the previous link in the list

Returns: the link's record

◆ SPFIntraAddRouter()

void ns3::GlobalRouteManagerImpl::SPFIntraAddRouter ( SPFVertex * v )

private

Add a host route to the routing tables.

This method is derived from quagga ospf_intra_add_router ()

This is where we are actually going to add the host routes to the routing tables of the individual nodes.

The vertex passed as a parameter has just been added to the SPF tree. This vertex must have a valid m_root_oid, corresponding to the outgoing interface on the root router of the tree that is the first hop on the path to the vertex. The vertex must also have a next hop address, corresponding to the next hop on the path to the vertex. The vertex has an m_lsa field that has some number of link records. For each point to point link record, the m_linkData is the local IP address of the link. This corresponds to a destination IP address, reachable from the root, to which we add a host route.

Parameters

v	the vertex

void ns3::GlobalRouteManagerImpl::SPFNext	(	SPFVertex *	v,

private

Examine the links in v's LSA and update the list of candidates with any vertices not already on the list.

Internal:

This method is derived from quagga ospf_spf_next (). See RFC2328 Section 16.1 (2) for further details.

We're passed a parameter v that is a vertex which is already in the SPF tree. A vertex represents a router node. We also get a reference to the SPF candidate queue, which is a priority queue containing the shortest paths to the networks we know about.

We examine the links in v's LSA and update the list of candidates with any vertices not already on the list. If a lower-cost path is found to a vertex already on the candidate list, store the new (lower) cost.

Parameters

v	the vertex
candidate	the SPF candidate queue

Calculate nexthop from root through V (parent) to vertex W (destination) with given distance from root->W.

This method is derived from quagga ospf_nexthop_calculation() 16.1.1. For now, this is greatly simplified from the quagga code

◆ SPFVertexAddParent()

void ns3::GlobalRouteManagerImpl::SPFVertexAddParent ( SPFVertex * v )

private

Adds a vertex to the list of children in each of its parents.

Derived from quagga ospf_vertex_add_parents ()

This is a somewhat oddly named method (blame quagga). Although you might expect it to add a parent to something, it actually adds a vertex to the list of children in each of its parents.

Given a pointer to a vertex, it links back to the vertex's parent that it already has set and adds itself to that vertex's list of children.

Parameters
