Networks

Parameters

Multiple networks can be specified using TOML's array of tables syntax. Every network needs these parameters:

parameter	type	default	role
Name	String	required	Name of the network, passed to output generators.
Type	String	WirelessLAN	Type of the network. Possible values are: wireless_lan, wireless, emane, hub and switch.

WirelessLAN

Networks of the type wireless_lan can also have these parameters. If they are missing, default values are applied.

parameter	type	default	role
Bandwidth	Int	54000000	Bandwidth of the Wireless-LAN in bps.
Range	Int	400	Range of the Wireless-LAN in pixels.
Jitter	Int	0	Transmission jitter of the Wireless-LAN in usec.
Delay	Int	5000	Transmission delay of the Wireless-LAN in usec.
Loss	Float	0.0	Loss of the Wireless-LAN in %.
Promiscuous	Bool	False	Promiscuous mode for the Wireless-LAN.

Wireless

Networks of the type wireless can also have these parameters. If they are missing, default values are applied. Please note: Networks of the type wireless were added in CORE version 9.0.0 while coreemu-lab uses CORE version 7.0.0. Experiments with wireless networks will therefore not work with coreemu-lab.

parameter	type	default	role
Bandwidth	Int	54000000	Bandwidth of the Wireless in bps.
Range	Int	400	Range of the Wireless in pixels.
Delay	Int	5000	Transmission delay of the Wireless in usec.
LossInitial	Float	0.0	Initial loss of the Wireless in %.
LossFactor	Float	1.0	Loss factor of the Wireless.
LossStartRange	Float	0.0	Starting range of loss of the Wireless in pixels.
Jitter	Int	0	Transmission jitter of the Wireless in usec.
Movement	Bool	true	Whether movement is enabled for the Wireless.
