const cGate* NicEntry::getOutGateTo

(

const NicEntry *

to

)

[inline]

Called by P2PPhyLayer. Needed to send a packet directly to a certain nic without other nodes 'hearing' it. This is only useful for physical layers that work with bit error probability like P2PPhyLayer.

Parameters:

to

pointer to the NicEntry to which the packet is about to be sent

Member Data Documentation

GateList NicEntry::outConns [protected]

Outgoing connections of this nic.

This map stores all connection for this nic to other nics

The first entry is the module id of the nic the connection is going to and the second the gate to send the msg to
