Detailed Description

Interface for L2 mesh routing protocol and mesh point communication.

Every mesh routing protocol must implement this interface. Each mesh point (MeshPointDevice) is supposed to know single L2RoutingProtocol to work with, see MeshPointDevice::SetRoutingProtocol ().

This interface is similar to ipv4 routing protocol base class.


Member Typedef Documentation

Callback to be invoked when route discovery procedure is completed.

Parameters:
flag indicating whether a route was actually found and all needed information is added to the packet successfully
packet for which the route was resolved. All routing information for MAC layer must be stored in proper tags (like in case of HWMP, when WifiMacHeader needs address of next hop), or must be added as a packet header (if MAC does not need any additional information). So, the packet is returned back to MeshPointDevice looks like a pure packet with ethernet header (i.e data + src +dst + protocol). The only special information addressed to MeshPointDevice is an outcoming interface ID.
src source address of the packet
dst destination address of the packet
protocol ethernet 'Protocol' field, needed to form a proper MAC-layer header
uint32_t outcoming interface to use or 0xffffffff if packet should be sent by ALL interfaces

Reimplemented from ns3::Object.

Reimplemented in ns3::dot11s::HwmpProtocol, and ns3::flame::FlameProtocol.

virtual bool ns3::MeshL2RoutingProtocol::RemoveRoutingStuff ( uint32_t  fromIface,
const Mac48Address  source,
const Mac48Address  destination,
Ptr< Packet packet,
uint16_t &  protocolType 
) [pure virtual]

When packet is ready to go to upper layer, protocol must remove all its information: tags, header, etc. So, MeshPointDevice must call this method when passing a packet to upper layer.

Returns:
true if packet shall not be dropped, false otherwise.
Parameters:
fromIface the incoming interface of the packet
source source address
destination destination address
packet the packet to be handled
protocolType protocol ID, needed to form a proper MAC-layer header
Attention:
protocol type is passed by reference, because may be changed

Implemented in ns3::dot11s::HwmpProtocol, and ns3::flame::FlameProtocol.

virtual bool ns3::MeshL2RoutingProtocol::RequestRoute ( uint32_t  sourceIface,
const Mac48Address  source,
const Mac48Address  destination,
Ptr< const Packet packet,
uint16_t  protocolType,
RouteReplyCallback  routeReply 
) [pure virtual]

Request routing information, all packets must go through this request.

Note that route discovery works async. -- RequestRoute returns immediately, while reply callback will be called when routing information will be available.

Returns:
true if valid route is already known
Parameters:
sourceIface the incoming interface of the packet
source source address
destination destination address
packet the packet to be resolved (needed the whole packet, because routing information is added as tags or headers). The packet will be returned to reply callback.
protocolType protocol ID, needed to form a proper MAC-layer header
routeReply callback to be invoked after route discovery procedure, supposed to really send packet using routing information.

Implemented in ns3::dot11s::HwmpProtocol, and ns3::flame::FlameProtocol.
