Detailed Description

Build a set of PointToPointNetDevice objects.

Normally we eschew multiple inheritance, however, the classes PcapUserHelperForDevice and AsciiTraceUserHelperForDevice are "mixins".

◆ Install() [1/5]

NetDeviceContainer ns3::PointToPointHelper::Install ( NodeContainer  c)
Parameters
ca set of nodes
Returns
a NetDeviceContainer for nodes

This method creates a ns3::PointToPointChannel with the attributes configured by PointToPointHelper::SetChannelAttribute, then, for each node in the input container, we create a ns3::PointToPointNetDevice with the requested attributes, a queue for this ns3::NetDevice, and associate the resulting ns3::NetDevice with the ns3::Node and ns3::PointToPointChannel.

Each point to point net device must have a queue to pass packets through.

This method allows one to set the type of the queue that is automatically created when the device is created and attached to a node.

Parameters
typethe type of queue
n1the name of the attribute to set on the queue
v1the value of the attribute to set on the queue
n2the name of the attribute to set on the queue
v2the value of the attribute to set on the queue
n3the name of the attribute to set on the queue
v3the value of the attribute to set on the queue
n4the name of the attribute to set on the queue
v4the value of the attribute to set on the queue

Set the type of queue to create and associated to each PointToPointNetDevice created through PointToPointHelper::Install.
