Ethernet Model -- Start Page
The Ethernet model contains a MAC model (EtherMAC), LLC model (EtherLLC) as well
as a bus (EtherBus, for modelling coaxial cable) and a hub (EtherHub) model.
A switch model (EtherSwitch) is also provided.
A few useful topics:
If you can't wait to see the model, start here:
- the MixedLAN model contains hosts, switch, hub and bus;
- the LargeNet model contains hundreds of
computers, switches and hubs (numbers depend on model configuration in
largenet.ini), and mixes all kinds of Ethernet technologies;
- EtherHost is a sample node with an Ethernet NIC;
- EtherSwitch, EtherBus, EtherHub model switching hub, repeating hub and
the old coxial cable;
- basic compnents of the model: EtherMAC, EtherLLC/EtherEncap module types,
MACRelayUnit (MACRelayUnitNP and MACRelayUnitPP), EtherFrame message type,
MACAddress class
