ShortcutMac¶

//
// Implements a simple shortcut to peer MAC protocol that completely
// bypasses the physical layer. Packets received from the upper layer protocols
// are never lost. The MAC protocol directly sends packets to the destination
// MAC protocol without any physical layer processing. Physical layer overhead
// is simply simulated by overhead bits, overhead transmission duration and
// a propagation delay.
//
simple ShortcutMac extends MacProtocolBase like ILinkLayer, IMacProtocol
