All Implemented Interfaces:

NetIO, Cloneable, Runnable

public class FnbOutput
extends Sim_entity
implements NetIO

This class defines a port through which a simulation entity sends data to the simulated network. Note that this class is based on Output class.

It maintains an event queue to serialize the data-out-flow and delivers to the destination entity. It works along with Input entity to simulate network communication delay. Simultaneous outputs can be modeled by using multiple instances of this class

Since:

GridSim Toolkit 4.2

Constructor Detail

FnbOutput

public FnbOutput(String name,
                 double baudRate)
          throws NullPointerException

Allocates a new Output object

Parameters:

name - the name of this object

baudRate - the communication speed

Throws:

NullPointerException - This happens when creating this entity before initializing GridSim package or this entity name is null or empty

Pre Condition:

name != null, baudRate >= 0.0

Post Condition:

$none

Method Detail

setBackgroundTraffic

public boolean setBackgroundTraffic(TrafficGenerator gen)

Sets the background traffic generator for this entity.

When simulation starts, this entity will automatically sends junk packets to resource entities.

Specified by:

setBackgroundTraffic in interface NetIO

Parameters:

gen - a background traffic generator

Returns:

true if successful, false otherwise

Pre Condition:

gen != null

Post Condition:

$none

setBackgroundTraffic

public boolean setBackgroundTraffic(TrafficGenerator gen,
                                    Collection userName)

Sets the background traffic generator for this entity.

When simulation starts, this entity will automatically sends junk packets to resource entities and other entities.
NOTE: Sending background traffic to itself is not supported.

Specified by:

setBackgroundTraffic in interface NetIO

Parameters:

gen - a background traffic generator

userName - a collection of user entity name (in String object).

Returns:

true if successful, false otherwise

Pre Condition:

gen != null, userName != null

Post Condition:

$none

addLink

public void addLink(Link link)

Sets this entity's link. This should be used only if the network extensions are being used.

Specified by:

addLink in interface NetIO

Parameters:

link - the link to which this Output entity should send data

Pre Condition:

link != null

Post Condition:

$none

getBaudRate

public double getBaudRate()

Gets the baud rate

Specified by:

getBaudRate in interface NetIO

Returns:

the baud rate

Pre Condition:

$none

Post Condition:

$result >= 0.0

realIO

public double realIO(double value)

Gets the I/O real number based on a given value

Parameters:

value - the specified value

Returns:

real number

Pre Condition:

$none

Post Condition:

$result >= 0.0

body

public void body()

A method that gets one process event at one time until the end of a simulation, then delivers an event to the entity (its parent)

Overrides:

body in class Sim_entity

Pre Condition:

$none

Post Condition:

$none
