Constructor Detail

DataLinkLayer

public DataLinkLayer(Model owner,
                     EventProcessor processor,
                     String iface,
                     String interfaceID)

Constructs a new NIC

Parameters:

owner - a Model

processor - a Processor

iface - the name of this NIC, e.g. eth0. if the name is null, a random name is chosen. this name has the structure r_iface followed by a random integer.

interfaceID - the interface ref_id

Method Detail

setInterfaceID

private void setInterfaceID(String interfaceID)

getInterfaceID

public String getInterfaceID()

gets the interface ref_id

Returns:

the interface ref_id

getInterface

public String getInterface()

gets the name of the interface

Returns:

the name of the interface

setInterface

public void setInterface(String string)

sets the name of the interface

Parameters:

string - a name

compareAddress

public boolean compareAddress(IAddress address)

Description copied from class: abstractNetworkLayer

Checks if an address is associated with this layer.

Overrides:

compareAddress in class abstractNetworkLayer

Parameters:

address - an address to compare with

Returns:

true if the address is in this layers address list, false otherwise.
