Member Function Documentation

Time ns3::ndn::Consumer::GetRetxTimer ( ) const
protected

Returns the frequency of checking the retransmission timeouts.

Returns
Timeout defining how frequent retransmission timeouts should be checked

Definition at line 112 of file ndn-consumer.cc.

References m_retxTimer.

void ns3::ndn::Consumer::OnData ( Ptr< const Data contentObject)
virtual

Method that will be called every time new Data arrives.

Parameters
contentObjectData header
payloadpayload (potentially virtual) of the Data packet (may include packet tags of original packet)

Reimplemented from ns3::ndn::App.

Reimplemented in ns3::ndn::ConsumerWindow.

Definition at line 226 of file ndn-consumer.cc.

References ns3::ndn::FwHopCountTag::Get(), ns3::ndn::App::m_active, m_rtt, and ns3::ndn::App::OnData().

void ns3::ndn::Consumer::OnNack ( Ptr< const Interest interest)
virtual

Method that will be called every time new NACK arrives.

Parameters
interestInterest header

Reimplemented from ns3::ndn::App.

Reimplemented in ns3::ndn::ConsumerWindow.

Definition at line 269 of file ndn-consumer.cc.

References ns3::ndn::App::m_active, m_rtt, ns3::ndn::App::OnNack(), and ScheduleNextPacket().

void ns3::ndn::Consumer::OnTimeout ( uint32_t  sequenceNumber)
virtual

Timeout event.

Parameters
sequenceNumbertime outed sequence number

Reimplemented in ns3::ndn::ConsumerWindow.

Definition at line 296 of file ndn-consumer.cc.

References m_rtt, and ScheduleNextPacket().

Referenced by CheckRetxTimeout(), and ns3::ndn::ConsumerWindow::OnTimeout().

void ns3::ndn::Consumer::SetRetxTimer ( Time  retxTimer)
protected

Modifies the frequency of checking the retransmission timeouts.

Parameters
retxTimerTimeout defining how frequent retransmission timeouts should be checked

Definition at line 97 of file ndn-consumer.cc.

References CheckRetxTimeout(), m_retxEvent, and m_retxTimer.

void ns3::ndn::Consumer::WillSendOutInterest ( uint32_t  sequenceNumber)
virtual

An event that is fired just before an Interest packet is actually send out (send is inevitable)

The reason for "before" even is that in certain cases (when it is possible to satisfy from the local cache), the send call will immediately return data, and if "after" even was used, this after would be called after all processing of incoming data, potentially producing unexpected results.

Reimplemented in ns3::ndn::ConsumerWindow.

Definition at line 308 of file ndn-consumer.cc.

References m_rtt.
