Member Function Documentation

Ptr<NetDevice> ns3::TapBridgeHelper::Install	(	Ptr< Node >	node,
		Ptr< NetDevice >	nd
	)

This method installs a TapBridge on the specified Node and forms the bridge with the NetDevice specified. The Node is specified using a Ptr<Node> and the NetDevice is specified using a Ptr<NetDevice>

Parameters:

	node	The Ptr<Node> to install the TapBridge in
	nd	The Ptr<NetDevice> to attach to the bridge.

Returns:

A pointer to the new TapBridge NetDevice.

Ptr<NetDevice> ns3::TapBridgeHelper::Install	(	Ptr< Node >	node,
		Ptr< NetDevice >	nd,
		const AttributeValue &	bridgeType
	)

This method installs a TapBridge on the specified Node and forms the bridge with the NetDevice specified. The Node is specified using a Ptr<Node> and the NetDevice is specified using a Ptr<NetDevice>. The type of the actual Bridge device is specified with the provided AttributeValue (typically "ns3::TapBridge").

Parameters:

	node	The Ptr<Node> to install the TapBridge in
	nd	The Ptr<NetDevice> to attach to the bridge.
	bridgeType	The TypeId of the bridge that will be automatically created.

Returns:

A pointer to the new TapBridge NetDevice.

Ptr<NetDevice> ns3::TapBridgeHelper::Install	(	std::string	nodeName,
		std::string	ndName
	)

This method installs a TapBridge on the specified Node and forms the bridge with the NetDevice specified. The node is specified by a name string that has previously been assoicated with the Node using the Object Name Service. The NetDevice is specified by a name string that has prevously been associated with the Object Name Service.

Parameters:

	nodeName	The name of the Node to install the TapBridge in
	ndName	The name of the NetDevice to attach to the bridge.

Returns:

A pointer to the new TapBridge NetDevice.

Ptr<NetDevice> ns3::TapBridgeHelper::Install	(	Ptr< Node >	node,
		std::string	ndName
	)

This method installs a TapBridge on the specified Node and forms the bridge with the NetDevice specified. The NetDevice is specified by a name string that has previously been assoicated with the NetDevice using the Object Name Service.

Parameters:

	node	The Ptr<Node> to install the TapBridge in
	ndName	The name of the NetDevice to attach to the bridge.

Returns:

A pointer to the new TapBridge NetDevice.

Ptr<NetDevice> ns3::TapBridgeHelper::Install	(	std::string	nodeName,
		Ptr< NetDevice >	nd
	)

This method installs a TapBridge on the specified Node and forms the bridge with the NetDevice specified. The node is specified by a name string that has previously been assoicated with the Node using the Object Name Service. The NetDevice is specified by a Ptr<NetDevice>.

Parameters:

	nodeName	The name of the Node to install the TapBridge in
	nd	The Ptr<NetDevice> to attach to the bridge.

Returns:

A pointer to the new TapBridge NetDevice.
