display bgb=361,464

Gates:

Name Direction Size Description
pppg [ ] inout

gates from overlay

ethg [ ] inout

placeholder for zero-size vector

overlayNeighborArrowIn [ ] input

incoming gate for visualizing overlay neighborship with connection arrows

overlayNeighborArrowOut [ ] output

incoming gate for visualizing overlay neighborship with connection arrows

Unassigned submodule parameters:

Name Type Default value Description
accessNet.channelTypes string

list of (tx) channel types (from common/channels.ned)

accessNet.channelTypesRx string

list of (rx) channel types (from common/channels.ned)

networkLayer.ip.procDelay double 0s
networkLayer.arp.retryTimeout double 1s

number seconds ARP waits between retries to resolve an IP address

networkLayer.arp.retryCount int 3

number of times ARP will attempt to resolve an IP address

networkLayer.arp.cacheTimeout double 120s

number seconds unused entries in the cache will time out

ppp.ppp.mtu int 4470
eth.mac.promiscuous bool false

if true, all packets are received, otherwise only the ones with matching destination MAC address

eth.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.

eth.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.

eth.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).

eth.mac.mtu int 1500
neighborCache.rpcUdpTimeout double

default timeout value for direct RPCs

neighborCache.rpcKeyTimeout double

default timeout value for routed RPCs

neighborCache.optimizeTimeouts bool

calculate timeouts from measured RTTs and network coordinates

neighborCache.rpcExponentialBackoff bool

if true, doubles the timeout for every retransmission

neighborCache.debugOutput bool

enable debug output

neighborCache.enableNeighborCache bool

use neighbor cache for reducing ping traffic?

neighborCache.rttExpirationTime double

expiration of the validity of the measured rtts

neighborCache.maxSize double

maximum size of the cache

neighborCache.rttHistory int
neighborCache.timeoutAccuracyLimit double
neighborCache.defaultQueryType string
neighborCache.defaultQueryTypeI string
neighborCache.defaultQueryTypeQ string
neighborCache.doDiscovery bool
neighborCache.ncsType string
neighborCache.npsDimensions int

gnp settings

neighborCache.npsCoordCalcRuns int
neighborCache.landmarkTimeout double
neighborCache.npsMaxLayer int

nps settings

neighborCache.showVivaldiPosition bool

vivaldi settings

neighborCache.vivaldiErrorConst double
neighborCache.vivaldiCoordConst double
neighborCache.vivaldiDimConst double
neighborCache.vivaldiEnableHeightVector bool
neighborCache.vivaldiLossConst double

svivaldi settings

neighborCache.lossResetLimit double
bootstrapList.rpcUdpTimeout double

default timeout value for direct RPCs

bootstrapList.rpcKeyTimeout double

default timeout value for routed RPCs

bootstrapList.optimizeTimeouts bool

calculate timeouts from measured RTTs and network coordinates

bootstrapList.rpcExponentialBackoff bool

if true, doubles the timeout for every retransmission

bootstrapList.debugOutput bool

enable debug output

bootstrapList.mergeOverlayPartitions bool

if true, detect and merge overlay partitions

bootstrapList.maintainList bool

maintain a list of bootstrap candidates and check them periodically

cryptoModule.keyFile string

the name of the file containing the public key pair used to sign messages
