EthernetAddressInserter¶

Package: inet.linklayer.ethernet.modular

simple module EthernetAddressInserter

Inserts Ethernet MAC address fields into outgoing packets. Creates and adds the source and destination address header fields at the front of each packet. Uses the destination address from the packet’s MacAddressReq tag. If the source address is unspecified in the tag, it uses the MAC address of the requested target network interface. Updates packet protocol tags to reflect the added header.

Extends¶

Name	Type	Description
PacketFlowBase	simple module	Base module for various packet flow modules. A packet flow module passes or streams all pushed or pulled packets after processing them from its input to its output.

Parameters¶

Name	Type	Default value	Description
displayStringTextFormat	string	“processed {numProcessedPackets} pk ({processedTotalLength})”	Determines the text that is written on top of the submodule, supports displaying pars, watches, and module-specific information
interfaceTableModule	string

Properties¶

Name	Value	Description
class	EthernetAddressInserter
display	i=block/inserter

Gates¶

Name	Direction	Size	Description
in	input

flowIncomingPacketLengths	flow specific incoming packet lengths	packetLength(demuxFlow(merge(packetPushedIn, packetPulledIn)))	sum,histogram,vector	b	none	the statistical value is the flow specific length of the incoming packet
flowOutgoingDataRate	flow specific outgoing data rate	throughput(demuxFlow(merge(packetPushedOut, packetPulledOut)))	vector	bps	linear	the statistical value is the flow specific data rate of the outgoing packets
flowOutgoingPacketLengths	flow specific outgoing packet lengths	packetLength(demuxFlow(merge(packetPushedOut, packetPulledOut)))	sum,histogram,vector	b	none	the statistical value is the flow specific length of the outgoing packet
incomingDataRate	incoming data rate	throughput(merge(packetPushedIn, packetPulledIn))	vector	bps	linear	the statistical value is the data rate of the incoming packets
incomingPacketLengths	incoming packet lengths	packetLength(merge(packetPushedIn, packetPulledIn))	sum,histogram,vector	b	none	the statistical value is the length of the incoming packet
incomingPackets	incoming packets	merge(packetPushedIn, packetPulledIn)	count	pk		the statistical value is the incoming packet
outgoingDataRate	outgoing data rate	throughput(merge(packetPushedOut, packetPulledOut))	vector	bps	linear	the statistical value is the data rate of the outgoing packets
outgoingPacketLengths	outgoing packet lengths	packetLength(merge(packetPushedOut, packetPulledOut))	sum,histogram,vector	b	none	the statistical value is the length of the outgoing packet
outgoingPackets	outgoing packets	merge(packetPushedOut, packetPulledOut)	count	pk		the statistical value is the outgoing packet
