package inet.visualizer.base;

//
// Base module for link visualizer simple modules. It keeps track of
// active links in a network. A link between two network nodes is considered
// active if a packet has been sent recently between the corresponding layers. Active
// links are not displayed by default, see the module parameters for how to
// enable the visualization. The actual visualization of active links is done
// in derived modules.
//
// This module subscribes to signals at the provided subscription module. When
// determining active links, it only considers packets matched by the provided
// filters. The filters use the format of `cMatchExpression` with the packet name
// as the default attribute.
//
// The format string can contain the following directives:
//  - %n packet name
//  - %c packet class
//
// @see ~PhysicalLinkVisualizerBase, ~DataLinkVisualizerBase, ~VisualizerBase
