IPacketServer¶

module interface IPacketServer

Interface for packet server modules. A packet server is an active module which has one active input and one active output. Packets are pulled from the connected input module and pushed into the connected output module with an optional delay but without reordering.

Inheritance diagram¶

Implemented by¶

Name	Type	Description
InstantServer	simple module	Repeatedly pulls packets from the connected packet provider and pushes the packet into the connected packet consumer without delay.
OmittedPacketServer	compound module	Implements the given interface and can be used as an optional module that removes itself from the module hierarchy during initialization.
PacketServer	simple module	Repeatedly pulls packets from the connected packet provider and after a processing delay, it pushes the packet into the connected packet consumer. The processing delay is `processingTime` + `packetLength` / `processingBitrate`.
PreemptingServer	simple module	(no description)
TokenBasedServer	simple module	Repeatedly pulls packets from the connected packet provider and it pushes them into the connected packet consumer. The packets are processed in zero simulation time, and the process continues until the available number of tokens is not sufficient anymore.

Extends¶

Name	Type	Description
IActivePacketSink	module interface	Interface for active packet sink modules. An active packet sink, also called a collector, has one input that must be connected to a passive packet source module. The active packet sink is expected to pull packets from the connected passive packet source over time.
IActivePacketSource	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.
