Detailed Description

An object that monitors and reports back packet flows observed during a simulation.

Introspection did not find any typical Config paths.

The FlowMonitor class is responsible for coordinating efforts regarding probes, and collects end-to-end flow statistics.

◆ DoDispose()

void ns3::FlowMonitor::DoDispose ( )
overrideprotectedvirtual

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::Object.

◆ GetFlowStats()

const FlowMonitor::FlowStatsContainer & ns3::FlowMonitor::GetFlowStats ( ) const

Retrieve all collected the flow statistics.

Note, if the FlowMonitor has not stopped monitoring yet, you should call CheckForLostPackets() to make sure all possibly lost packets are accounted for.

TypeId ns3::FlowMonitor::GetInstanceTypeId ( ) const
