IPacketPolicing¶
Package: inet.queueing.contract
module interface IPacketPolicing
Interface for packet policing modules. A packet policing connects one input to one output. It operates in passive mode on its input and in active mode on its output. These modules usually meter various traffic properties and drop packets, but they never modify, delay or reorder packets.

Combines multiple packet policing modules into one. |
|
compound module |
Combines a packet meter and a packet filter into a packet policing module. The meter measures the packet flow that is passing through and attaches some meta information to the packets. The filter drops the packets that do not match the implemented filter criteria. |

module interface |
Interface for passive packet sink modules. A passive packet sink, also called a consumer, has one input that must be connected to an active packet source module. The connected active packet source is expected to push packets into the passive packet sink over time. |

module interface |
Interface for active packet source modules. An active packet source, also called a producer, has one output that must be connected to a passive packet sink module. The active packet source is expected to push packets into the connected passive packet sink over time. |
