Detailed Description

Abstract base class for TCP receive queues. This class represents data received by TCP but not yet passed up to the application. The class also accomodates for selective retransmission, i.e. also acts as a segment buffer.

This class goes hand-in-hand with TCPSendQueue.

This class is polymorphic because depending on where and how you use the TCP model you might have different ideas about "sending data" on a simulated connection: you might want to transmit real bytes, "dummy" (byte count only), cMessage objects, etc; see discussion at TCPSendQueue. Different subclasses can be written to accomodate different needs.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void TCPReceiveQueue::setConnection ( TCPConnection _conn  )  [inline, virtual]

Set the connection that owns this queue.

Referenced by TCPConnection::cloneListeningConnection(), and TCPConnection::initConnection().

00065 {conn = _conn;}

virtual void TCPReceiveQueue::init ( uint32  startSeq  )  [pure virtual]

Set initial receive sequence number.

Implemented in TCPMsgBasedRcvQueue, and TCPVirtualDataRcvQueue.

Referenced by TCPConnection::processSegmentInListen(), and TCPConnection::processSegmentInSynSent().

virtual uint32 TCPReceiveQueue::insertBytesFromSegment ( TCPSegment tcpseg  )  [pure virtual]

Called when a TCP segment arrives, it should extract the payload from the segment and store it in the receive queue. The segment object should *not* be deleted.

The method should return the sequence number to be ACKed.

Implemented in TCPMsgBasedRcvQueue, and TCPVirtualDataRcvQueue.

Referenced by TCPConnection::processSegment1stThru8th(), TCPConnection::processSegmentInListen(), and TCPConnection::processSegmentInSynSent().

virtual cPacket* TCPReceiveQueue::extractBytesUpTo ( uint32  seq  )  [pure virtual]

Should create a packet to be passed up to the app, up to (but NOT including) the given sequence no (usually rcv_nxt). It should return NULL if there's no more data to be passed up -- this method is called several times until it returns NULL.

Implemented in TCPMsgBasedRcvQueue, and TCPVirtualDataRcvQueue.

Referenced by TCPConnection::processSegment1stThru8th().
