Detailed Description

Abstract base class for IPv4 routing protocols.

Introspection did not find any typical Config paths.

Defines two virtual functions for packet routing and forwarding. The first, RouteOutput(), is used for locally originated packets, and the second, RouteInput(), is used for forwarding and/or delivering received packets. Also defines the signatures of four callbacks used in RouteInput().

No Attributes are defined for this type.
No TraceSources are defined for this type.
Size of this type is 32 bytes (on a 64-bit architecture).

Parameters

interface	the index of the interface we are being notified about
address	a new address being added to an interface

Protocols are expected to implement this method to be notified whenever a new address is added to an interface. Typically used to add a 'network route' on an interface. Can be invoked on an up or down interface.

Implemented in ns3::olsr::RoutingProtocol, ns3::Ipv4NixVectorRouting, ns3::Rip, ns3::Ipv4GlobalRouting, ns3::Ipv4ListRouting, ns3::dsdv::RoutingProtocol, ns3::Ipv4StaticRouting, ns3::aodv::RoutingProtocol, Ipv4BRouting, and Ipv4ARouting.

interface the index of the interface we are being notified about

Protocols are expected to implement this method to be notified of the state change of an interface in a node.

		UnicastForwardCallback	ucb,
		MulticastForwardCallback	mcb,
		LocalDeliverCallback	lcb,
		ErrorCallback	ecb
	)

pure virtual

Route an input packet (to be forwarded or locally delivered)

This lookup is used in the forwarding process. The packet is handed over to the Ipv4RoutingProtocol, and will get forwarded onward by one of the callbacks. The Linux equivalent is ip_route_input(). There are four valid outcomes, and a matching callbacks to handle each.

Parameters

p	received packet
header	input parameter used to form a search key for a route
idev	Pointer to ingress network device
ucb	Callback for the case in which the packet is to be forwarded as unicast
mcb	Callback for the case in which the packet is to be forwarded as multicast
lcb	Callback for the case in which the packet is to be locally delivered
ecb	Callback to call if there is an error in forwarding

Returns: true if the Ipv4RoutingProtocol takes responsibility for forwarding or delivering the packet, false otherwise

Implemented in ns3::olsr::RoutingProtocol, ns3::Ipv4NixVectorRouting, ns3::Rip, ns3::Ipv4GlobalRouting, ns3::Ipv4ListRouting, ns3::Ipv4StaticRouting, ns3::aodv::RoutingProtocol, Ipv4BRouting, and Ipv4ARouting.

◆ RouteOutput()

virtual Ptr<Ipv4Route> ns3::Ipv4RoutingProtocol::RouteOutput	(	Ptr< Packet >	p,
		const Ipv4Header &	header,
		Ptr< NetDevice >	oif,
		Socket::SocketErrno &	sockerr
	)

pure virtual

Query routing cache for an existing route, for an outbound packet.

This lookup is used by transport protocols. It does not cause any packet to be forwarded, and is synchronous. Can be used for multicast or unicast. The Linux equivalent is ip_route_output()

The header input parameter may have an uninitialized value for the source address, but the destination address should always be properly set by the caller.

Parameters

p	packet to be routed. Note that this method may modify the packet. Callers may also pass in a null pointer.
header	input parameter (used to form key to search for the route)
oif	Output interface Netdevice. May be zero, or may be bound via socket options to a particular output interface.
sockerr	Output parameter; socket errno

Returns: a code that indicates what happened in the lookup

Implemented in ns3::olsr::RoutingProtocol, ns3::Ipv4NixVectorRouting, ns3::Rip, ns3::Ipv4GlobalRouting, ns3::Ipv4ListRouting, ns3::Ipv4StaticRouting, ns3::dsdv::RoutingProtocol, ns3::aodv::RoutingProtocol, Ipv4BRouting, and Ipv4ARouting.

◆ SetIpv4()

virtual void ns3::Ipv4RoutingProtocol::SetIpv4 ( Ptr< Ipv4 > ipv4 )

pure virtual

Parameters

ipv4	the ipv4 object this routing protocol is being associated with

Typically, invoked directly or indirectly from ns3::Ipv4::SetRoutingProtocol

Implemented in ns3::olsr::RoutingProtocol, ns3::Ipv4NixVectorRouting, ns3::Rip, ns3::Ipv4GlobalRouting, ns3::Ipv4ListRouting, ns3::dsdv::RoutingProtocol, ns3::Ipv4StaticRouting, ns3::aodv::RoutingProtocol, Ipv4BRouting, and Ipv4ARouting.
