Member Function Documentation

DisableFlowControl()

void ns3::SimpleNetDeviceHelper::DisableFlowControl

(

)

Disable flow control only if you know what you are doing.

By disabling flow control, this NetDevice will be sent packets even if there is no room for them (such packets will be likely dropped by this NetDevice). Also, any queue disc installed on this NetDevice will have no effect, as every packet enqueued to the traffic control layer queue disc will be immediately dequeued.
