These trace sources can be hooked using your own * custom trace code, or you can use our helper functions in some cases to * arrange for tracing to be enabled. * * \subsection internetStackArpTracingModel Tracing in ARP * * ARP provides two trace hooks, one in the cache, and one in the layer three * protocol. The trace accessor in the cache is given the name "Drop." When * a packet is transmitted over an interface that requires ARP, it is first * queued for transmission in the ARP cache until the required MAC address is * resolved. There are a number of retries that may be done trying to get the * address, and if the maximum retry count is exceeded the packet in question * is dropped by ARP. The single trace hook in the ARP cache is called, * * - If an outbound packet is placed in the ARP cache pending address resolution * and no resolution can be made within the maximum retry count, the outbound * packet is dropped and this trace is fired; * * A second trace hook lives in the ARP L3 protocol (also named "Drop") and may * be called for a number of reasons. * * - If an ARP reply is received for an entry that is not waiting for a reply, * the ARP reply packet is dropped and this trace is fired; * - If an ARP reply is received for a non-existant entry, the ARP reply packet * is dropped and this trace is fired; * - If an ARP cache entry is in the DEAD state (has timed out) and an ARP reply * packet is received, the reply packet is dropped and this trace is fired. * - Each ARP cache entry has a queue of pending packets. If the size of the * queue is exceeded, the outbound packet is dropped and this trace is fired. * * \subsection internetStackIpv4TracingModel Tracing in IPv4 * * The IPv4 layer three protocol provides three trace hooks. These are the * "Tx" (ns3::Ipv4L3Protocol::m_txTrace), "Rx" (ns3::Ipv4L3Protocol::m_rxTrace) * and "Drop" (ns3::Ipv4L3Protocol::m_dropTrace) trace sources. * * The "Tx" trace is fired in a number of situations, all of which indicate that * a given packet is about to be sent down to a given ns3::Ipv4Interface. * * - In the case of a packet destined for the broadcast address, the * Ipv4InterfaceList is iterated and for every interface that is up and can * fragment the packet or has a large enough MTU to transmit the packet, * the trace is hit. See ns3::Ipv4L3Protocol::Send. * * - In the case of a packet that needs routing, the "Tx" trace may be fired * just before a packet is sent to the interface appropriate to the default * gateway. See ns3::Ipv4L3Protocol::SendRealOut. * * - Also in the case of a packet that needs routing, the "Tx" trace may be * fired just before a packet is sent to the outgoing interface appropriate * to the discovered route. See ns3::Ipv4L3Protocol::SendRealOut. * * The "Rx" trace is fired when a packet is passed from the device up to the * ns3::Ipv4L3Protocol::Receive function. * * - In the receive function, the Ipv4InterfaceList is iterated, and if the * Ipv4Interface corresponding to the receiving device is fount to be in the * UP state, the trace is fired. * * The "Drop" trace is fired in any case where the packet is dropped (in both * the transmit and receive paths). * * - In the ns3::Ipv4Interface::Receive function, the packet is dropped and the * drop trace is hit if the interface corresponding to the receiving device * is in the DOWN state. * * - Also in the ns3::Ipv4Interface::Receive function, the packet is dropped and * the drop trace is hit if the checksum is found to be bad. * * - In ns3::Ipv4L3Protocol::Send, an outgoing packet bound for the broadcast * address is dropped and the "Drop" trace is fired if the "don't fragement" * bit is set and fragmentation is available and required. * * - Also in ns3::Ipv4L3Protocol::Send, an outgoing packet destined for the * broadcast address is dropped and the "Drop" trace is hit if fragmentation * is not available and is required (MTU < packet size). * * - In the case of a broadcast address, an outgoing packet is cloned for each * outgoing interface. If any of the interfaces is in the DOWN state, the * "Drop" trace event fires with a reference to the copied packet. * * - In the case of a packet requiring a route, an outgoing packet is dropped * and the "Drop" trace event fires if no route to the remote host is found. * * - In ns3::Ipv4L3Protocol::SendRealOut, an outgoing packet being routed * is dropped and the "Drop" trace is fired if the "don't fragement" bit is * set and fragmentation is available and required. * * - Also in ns3::Ipv4L3Protocol::SendRealOut, an outgoing packet being routed * is dropped and the "Drop" trace is hit if fragmentation is not available * and is required (MTU < packet size). * * - An outgoing packet being routed is dropped and the "Drop" trace event fires * if the required Ipv4Interface is in the DOWN state. * * - If a packet is being forwarded, and the TTL is exceeded (see * ns3::Ipv4L3Protocol::DoForward), the packet is dropped and the "Drop" trace * event is fired. * * \subsection internetStackNs3TCPTracingModel Tracing in ns-3 TCP * * There is currently one trace source in the ns-3 TCP implementation named * "CongestionWindow" (see ns3::TcpSocketImpl::m_cWnd). This is set in a number * of places (see file tcp-socket-impl.cc) whenever the value of the congestion * window is changed. * * \subsection internetStackNscTCPTracingModel Tracing in NSC TCP * * There is currently one trace source in the Network Simulation Cradle TCP * implementation named "CongestionWindow" (see ns3::NscTcpSocketImpl::m_cWnd). * This is set in a number of places (see file nsc-tcp-socket-impl.cc) when * the value of the cogestion window is initially set. Note that this is not * instrumented from the underlying TCP implementaion. * * \subsection internetStackNs3UdpTracingModel Tracing in ns-3 UDP * * There is currently one trace source in the ns-3 UDP implementation named * "Drop" (see ns3::UdpSocketImpl::m_dropTrace). This is set when a packet * is received in ns3::UdpSocketImpl::ForwardUp and the receive buffer cannot * accomodate the encapsulated data. */ namespace ns3 { class Node; void AddInternetStack (Ptr node); void AddNscInternetStack (Ptr node, const std::string &soname); }//namespace ns3 #endif /* INTERNET_STACK_H */
