PassivePacketSourceBase¶

simple module PassivePacketSourceBase

Base module for various active packet source modules.

Inheritance diagram¶

Known subclasses¶

Name	Type	Description
PassivePacketSource	simple module	A passive packet source which can be pulled for packets from the connected packet collector.

Extends¶

Name	Type	Description
PacketSourceBase	simple module	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.

Parameters¶

Name	Type	Default value	Description
displayStringTextFormat	string	“created %p pk (%l)”	Determines the text that is written on top of the submodule, supports displaying pars, watches, and module-specific information
packetNameFormat	string	“%a-%c”	See directives in module documentation
packetRepresentation	string	“byteCount”	Determines the chunk of the packet data
packetProtocol	string	“unknown”
packetLength	int
packetData	int	-1
attachCreationTimeTag	bool	true
attachIdentityTag	bool	true
attachDirectionTag	bool	true

Properties¶

Name	Value	Description
class	PassivePacketSourceBase
display	i=block/source

Signals¶

Name	Type	Unit	Description
packetCreated	inet::Packet
packetPulled	inet::Packet

Statistics¶

Name	Title	Source	Record	Unit	Interpolation Mode	Description
dataRate	data rate	throughput(packetPulled)	vector	bps	linear	the statistical value is the data rate of the packets
packetLengths	packet lengths	packetLength(packetPulled)	sum,histogram,vector	b	none	the statistical value is the length of the packet
packets	packets	packetPulled	count	pk		the statistical value is the packet
