IEthernetLayer¶

module interface IEthernetLayer

Module interface for Ethernet protocol layer implementations. Implementations typically handle the encapsulation of higher layer packets into Ethernet frames for transmission and the decapsulation of received Ethernet frames for delivery to higher layers.

Usage diagram¶

Inheritance diagram¶

Implemented by¶

Name	Type	Description
EthernetEncapsulation	simple module	Performs Ethernet II or Ethernet with LLC/SNAP encapsulation/decapsulation.
OmittedEthernetEncapsulation	compound module	Implements the given module interface and can be used as an optional module that removes itself from the module hierarchy during initialization.
EthernetLayer	compound module	(no description)

Used in compound modules¶

Name	Type	Description
EthernetHost	compound module	A simplified network device that communicates directly over Ethernet without higher layer protocols like IP or TCP. It provides a basic host model for Ethernet-only simulations.
