public class Module

extends Component

A module is a component which implements a protocol. The ports of a module are categorized into "up" and "down" groups. "Up" and "down" indicate the direction of data flow in the protocol stack of a node. By default, it contains one "up" port (up@) and one "down" port (down@).

A module is also equipped with a timer port (.timer@) and defines a set of methods to set up and cancel timeout events (setTimeout(Object, double), setTimeoutAt(Object, double), and cancelTimeout(drcl.comp.ACATimer). The first two methods return an ACATimer object which contains the event object and the time when the timer expires. The timer object can be used to cancel the timeout event using cancelTimeout(ACATimer).

Incoming data is dispatched in process(Object, Port) to four handlers by the port at which data arrives: dataArriveAtUpPort(Object, Port), dataArriveAtDownPort(Object, Port), timeout(Object), and processOther(Object, Port). A subclass should override one or more of the handlers to handle the incoming data as necessary.

A module is associated with an address scheme (address), which separates the dividing of address space from the functionality of the module.

Method Detail

duplicate

public void duplicate(java.lang.Object source_)

Description copied from class: Component

Duplicates the content of source_, including ID, name, child components and connections among them, to this component. Subclasses need to override this method to copy its own variables.

Overrides:

duplicate in class Component

deliver

protected final boolean deliver(java.lang.Object data_,
                                java.lang.String portID_)

Delivers data_ at the (up) port specified. Returns false if failed (e.g. port does not exist).

dataArriveAtDownPort

protected void dataArriveAtDownPort(java.lang.Object data_,
                                    Port downPort_)

The handler invoked when a packet arrives at a "down" port. Subclasses should override it to handle such an event.

dataArriveAtUpPort

protected void dataArriveAtUpPort(java.lang.Object data_,
                                  Port upPort_)

The handler invoked when a packet arrives at an "up" port. Subclasses should override it to handle such an event.

timeout

protected void timeout(java.lang.Object data_)

The handler invoked when a timeout event occurs. Subclasses should override it to handle such an event.

See Also:

setTimeout(Object, double), setTimeoutAt(Object, double)

processOther

protected void processOther(java.lang.Object data_,
                            Port inPort_)

The handler invoked when a packet arrived at a port other than the "up", "down" and timer ports.

process

protected void process(java.lang.Object data_,
                       Port inPort_)

This method classifies inPort_ and delegates process of data to the appropriate handler. If a subclass decides to override this method, then it should call super.process(data_, inPort_) to make those handlers effective.

Overrides:
