marvis.channel.channel

Abstract Channel class.

Classes

Channel

The Channel resembles a physical connection of nodes.

class marvis.channel.channel.Channel(network, channel_name, nodes)[source]

Bases: object

The Channel resembles a physical connection of nodes.

For CSMA this would be equivalent to one LAN cable. All Nodes connected to a channel will be on one collision domain.

Warning: Do not instantiate a channel yourself.

Use the network’s capabilities to link nodes.

Parameters

  • network (Network) – The network this channel belongs to.

  • channel_name (str) – The name of the channel

  • nodes (list of Node) – The nodes to connect on a physical channel.

network = None

The network the channel belongs to.

channel_name = None

The name of the channel

interfaces = None

All Interfaces (~network cards) on this channel.

ns3_nodes_container = None

A container with all ns-3 internal nodes.

property nodes

Return all nodes of this channel.

Returns

The list of nodes in this channel.

Return type

list of Node

prepare(simulation)[source]

Prepare the channel (for logging).

Parameters

simulation (Simulation) – The simulation to prepare the channel for.
