EthernetLink

channel

EthernetLink provides a base channel type for Ethernet connections with configurable length and propagation delay. It extends the Cable type and calculates the delay based on the physical length of the cable and the speed of light in the medium.

EthernetMultidropLink

channel

EthernetMultidropLink models a shared Ethernet medium in a bus topology where multiple nodes connect to a single cable. This channel type is used for simulating 10BASE-T1S with PLCA (Physical Layer Collision Avoidance) Ethernet that use a multidrop configuration.

PeriodicLossChannel

channel

This channel uses the per parameter for periodic packet loss. That means it delivers exactly 1/per packets, followed by one drop. It does not use the BER paramater.

ThruputMeteringChannel

channel

This channel adds support for throughput metering to the datarate channel. A cDatarateChannel extended with throughput calculation. Values are displayed on the link, using the connection’s “t=” or “tt=” display string tag.
