Module Interface OutputQueue

Package: inet.networklayer.queue
File: src/networklayer/queue/OutputQueue.ned

Prototype for per-NIC output queues. Concrete queues can implement drop-tail, RED etc. policy.

Interface to Layer 2 modules: The C++ class implementing the queue must implement (i.e. subclass from) IPassiveQueue, and should send a packet whenever the L2 module asks for one by calling the requestPacket() method.

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.

EthernetInterface (compound module)	Ethernet network interface. Complements EtherMAC and EtherEncap with an output queue for QoS and RED support.
EthernetInterface2 (compound module)	Ethernet network interface which supports full-duplex operation only. Complements EtherMAC2 and EtherEncap with an output queue for QoS and RED support.
PPPInterface (compound module)	PPP interface. Complements the PPP module with an output queue for QoS and RED support.
PPPInterfaceWithDLDuplicatesGenerator (compound module)	PPP interface. Complements the PPP module with an output queue for QoS and RED support.
PPPInterfaceWithDLThruputMeter (compound module)	PPP interface. Complements the PPP module with an output queue for QoS and RED support.
PPPInterfaceWithULDropsGenerator (compound module)	PPP interface. Complements the PPP module with an output queue for QoS and RED support.
PPPInterfaceWithULThruputMeter (compound module)	PPP interface. Complements the PPP module with an output queue for QoS and RED support.
