PacketSourceBase¶

//
// Base module for various packet source modules. Packets are created
// randomly with regard to packet length and packet data. The representation of
// packet data can also be configured.
//
// Available packet name format directives:
// source, application, network node
// display name or full name, full path
//
//  - %a: automatic application display name or application full name or module display name or module full name
//  - %n: module display name or module full name
//  - %m: application display name or application full name
//  - %M: network node display name or network node full name
//  - %p: module full path
//  - %h: application full path
//  - %H: network node full path
//  - %c: packet number
//  - %l: packet length
//  - %d: packet data
//  - %t: simulation time
//  - %e: event number
//
// @see ~IPacketSource
