Simple Module EtherAppCli

Package: inet.applications.ethernet
File: src/applications/ethernet/EtherAppCli.ned

A simple traffic generator for the Ethernet model and the 802.11 model, and generally for any L2 model that accepts Ieee80211Ctrl control info on the packets. It generates EtherAppReq packets. It should be connected directly to EtherLLC or a Ieee802NicXXX module.

Used in compound modules:

If a module type shows up more than once, that means it has been defined in more than one NED file.

EtherHost (compound module)	An example host with one Ethernet port and traffic generators that generate Ethernet traffic directly. This host model does not contain higher layer protocols (IP, TCP).
EtherHost2 (compound module)	Example host model with one Ethernet port and several traffic generators to create traffic in the test network.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Default value	Description
destAddress	string	""	destination MAC address, or module path name of destination station; empty means off
startTime	double	this.waitTime	time of sending the first request
waitTime	double	uniform(0s,1s)	interval between sending requests
reqLength	int	100B	length of request packets
respLength	int	1KB	length of response packets
registerSAP	bool	false	whether to sent IEEE802CTRL_REGISTER_DSAP on startup

Properties:

Name	Value	Description
display	i=block/app

Gates:

Name	Direction	Size	Description
in	input
out	output
