Detailed Description

This generator assigns addresses sequentially from a provided network address; used in topology code.

Note: BEWARE: this class acts as a Singleton. In other terms, two different instances of Ipv4AddressGenerator will pick IPv4 numbers from the same pool. Changing the network in one of them will also change the network in the other instances.

Member Function Documentation

◆ AddAllocated()

bool Ipv4AddressGenerator::AddAllocated ( const Ipv4Address addr )

static

Add the Ipv4Address to the list of IPv4 entries.

Typically, this is used by external address allocators that want to make use of this class's ability to track duplicates. AddAllocated is always called internally for any address generated by NextAddress ()

Parameters

addr	The Ipv4Address to be added to the list of Ipv4 entries

Returns: true on success

Definition at line 610 of file ipv4-address-generator.cc.

References ns3::SimulationSingleton< T >::Get(), and NS_LOG_FUNCTION_NOARGS.

Referenced by ns3::Ipv4AddressHelper::NewAddress().

◆ GetAddress()

Ipv4Address Ipv4AddressGenerator::GetAddress ( const Ipv4Mask mask )

static

Get the Ipv4Address that will be allocated upon NextAddress ()

Does not change the internal state; just is used to peek the next address that will be allocated upon NextAddress ()

Parameters

mask	The Ipv4Mask for the current network

Returns: the IPv4 address

Definition at line 583 of file ipv4-address-generator.cc.

References ns3::SimulationSingleton< T >::Get(), and NS_LOG_FUNCTION_NOARGS.

◆ GetNetwork()

Ipv4Address Ipv4AddressGenerator::GetNetwork ( const Ipv4Mask mask )

static

Get the current network of the given Ipv4Mask.

Does not change the internal state; this just peeks at the current network

Parameters

mask	The Ipv4Mask for the current network

Returns: the IPv4 address of the current network

Definition at line 563 of file ipv4-address-generator.cc.

References ns3::SimulationSingleton< T >::Get(), and NS_LOG_FUNCTION_NOARGS.

◆ Init()

void Ipv4AddressGenerator::Init	(	const Ipv4Address	net,
		const Ipv4Mask	mask,
		const Ipv4Address	addr = `"0.0.0.1"`
	)

static

Initialise the base network, mask and address for the generator.

The first call to NextAddress() or GetAddress() will return the value passed in.

Parameters

net	The network for the base Ipv4Address
mask	The network mask of the base Ipv4Address
addr	The base address used for initialization

Definition at line 542 of file ipv4-address-generator.cc.

References ns3::SimulationSingleton< T >::Get(), and NS_LOG_FUNCTION_NOARGS.

◆ InitAddress()

void Ipv4AddressGenerator::InitAddress	(	const Ipv4Address	addr,
		const Ipv4Mask	mask
	)

static

Set the address for the given mask.

Parameters

addr	The address to set for the current mask
mask	The Ipv4Mask whose address is to be set

Definition at line 572 of file ipv4-address-generator.cc.

References ns3::SimulationSingleton< T >::Get(), and NS_LOG_FUNCTION_NOARGS.

◆ IsAddressAllocated()

bool Ipv4AddressGenerator::IsAddressAllocated ( const Ipv4Address addr )

static

Check the Ipv4Address allocation in the list of IPv4 entries.

Parameters

addr	The Ipv4Address to be checked in the list of Ipv4 entries

Returns: true if the network is already allocated

Definition at line 619 of file ipv4-address-generator.cc.

References ns3::SimulationSingleton< T >::Get(), and NS_LOG_FUNCTION_NOARGS.

◆ IsNetworkAllocated()

bool Ipv4AddressGenerator::IsNetworkAllocated	(	const Ipv4Address	addr,
		const Ipv4Mask	mask
	)

static

Check if a network has already allocated addresses.

Parameters

addr	The Ipv4 network to be checked
mask	The Ipv4 network mask

Returns: true if the network is already allocated

Definition at line 628 of file ipv4-address-generator.cc.

References ns3::SimulationSingleton< T >::Get(), and NS_LOG_FUNCTION_NOARGS.

◆ NextAddress()

Ipv4Address Ipv4AddressGenerator::NextAddress ( const Ipv4Mask mask )

static

Allocate the next Ipv4Address for the configured network and mask.

This operation is a post-increment, meaning that the first address allocated will be the one that was initially configured.

Parameters

mask	The Ipv4Mask for the current network

Returns: the IPv4 address

Definition at line 592 of file ipv4-address-generator.cc.

References ns3::SimulationSingleton< T >::Get(), and NS_LOG_FUNCTION_NOARGS.

◆ NextNetwork()

Ipv4Address Ipv4AddressGenerator::NextNetwork ( const Ipv4Mask mask )

static

Get the next network according to the given Ipv4Mask.

This operation is a pre-increment, meaning that the internal state is changed before returning the new network address.

This also resets the address to the base address that was used for initialization.

Parameters

mask	The Ipv4Mask used to set the next network

Returns: the IPv4 address of the next network

Definition at line 554 of file ipv4-address-generator.cc.

References ns3::SimulationSingleton< T >::Get(), and NS_LOG_FUNCTION_NOARGS.

◆ Reset()

void Ipv4AddressGenerator::Reset ( void )

static

Reset the networks and Ipv4Address to zero.

Definition at line 601 of file ipv4-address-generator.cc.

References ns3::SimulationSingleton< T >::Get(), and NS_LOG_FUNCTION_NOARGS.

◆ TestMode()

void Ipv4AddressGenerator::TestMode ( void )

static

Used to turn off fatal errors and assertions, for testing.

Definition at line 637 of file ipv4-address-generator.cc.
