Implemented by¶

Name	Type	Description
ExtLowerEthernetInterface	compound module	Provides an Ethernet network interface suitable for emulation. The lower part of the network interface is realized in the real world using a real Ethernet socket of the host computer which is running the simulation.
ExtUpperEthernetInterface	compound module	Provides an Ethernet network interface suitable for emulation. The upper part of the network interface is realized in the real world using a real TAP device of the host computer which is running the simulation.
EthernetInterface	compound module	Represents an Ethernet network interface.
EthernetPlcaInterface	compound module	Implements a network interface that is suitable for use in Ethernet 10BASE-T1S multidrop links. Such a multidrop link uses the Ethernet Phyisical Layer Collision Avoidance (PLCA) protocol. The protocol is defined in the IEEE 802.3cg-2019 standard. This network interface can be used in any network node module (e.g. StandardHost) that allows replacing its network interfaces. All network interfaces on the same multidrop link must use this module.
EthernetCutthroughInterface	compound module	Represents an Ethernet network interface with Ethernet cut-through switching support. In contrast with store-and-forward switching, Ethernet cut-through switching can begin the transmission of the outgoing packet before the reception of the corresponding incoming packet ends. Ethernet cut-through switching can significantly reduce end-to-end delay in the network.
LayeredEthernetInterface	compound module	Implements an Ethernet network interface.
