Compound Module EthernetInterface

Package: inet.linklayer.ethernet
File: src/linklayer/ethernet/EthernetInterface.ned

Ethernet network interface. Complements EtherMAC and EtherEncap with an output queue for QoS and RED support.

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.

ExtRouter (compound module)	External router.
OSPFRouter (compound module)	An OSPFv2 router.
Router (compound module)	IP router.
Router6 (compound module)	IPv6 router.
StandardHost (compound module)	IP host with SCTP, TCP, UDP layers and applications.
StandardHost6 (compound module)	IPv6 host with TCP, UDP layers and applications.
StandardHostWithDLDuplicatesGenerator (compound module)	IP host with SCTP, TCP, UDP layers and applications AND PPPInterfaceWithDLDuplicatesGenerator.
StandardHostWithDLThruputMeter (compound module)	IP host with SCTP, TCP, UDP layers and applications AND PPPInterfaceWithDLThruputMeter.
StandardHostWithULDropsGenerator (compound module)	IP host with SCTP, TCP, UDP layers and applications AND PPPInterfaceWithULDropsGenerator.
StandardHostWithULThruputMeter (compound module)	IP host with SCTP, TCP, UDP layers and applications AND PPPInterfaceWithULThruputMeter.
TCPSpoofingHost (compound module)	IP host with TCPSpoof in the application layer.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Default value	Description
queueType	string	"DropTailQueue"

Properties:

Name	Value	Description
display	i=block/ifcard

Gates:

Name	Direction	Size	Description
netwIn	input
netwOut	output
phys	inout

Unassigned submodule parameters:

Name	Type	Default value	Description
mac.promiscuous	bool	false	if true, all packets are received, otherwise only the ones with matching destination MAC address
mac.address	string	"auto"	MAC address as hex string (12 hex digits), or "auto". "auto" values will be replaced by a generated MAC address in init stage 0.
mac.txrate	double	100Mbps	maximum data rate supported by this station (bit/s); actually chosen speed may be lower due to auto- configuration. 0 means fully auto-configured.
mac.duplexEnabled	bool	true	whether duplex mode can be enabled or not; whether MAC will actually use duplex mode depends on the result of the auto-configuration process (duplex is only possible with DTE-to-DTE connection).
mac.mtu	int	1500
