Detailed Description

In the previous model we just created another packet if we needed to retransmit. This is OK because the packet didn't contain much, but in real life it's usually more practical to keep a copy of the original packet so that we can re-send it without the need to build it again.

cMessage * Tic8::generateNewMessage (   )  [virtual]

{ // Generate a message with a different name every time. char msgname[20]; sprintf(msgname, "tic-%d", ++seq); cMessage *msg = new cMessage(msgname); return msg; }

void Tic8::handleMessage (  cMessage *  msg  )  [virtual]

Reimplemented from cSimpleModule. { if (msg==timeoutEvent) { // If we receive the timeout event, that means the packet hasn't // arrived in time and we have to re-send it. ev << "Timeout expired, resending message and restarting timer\n"; sendCopyOf(message); scheduleAt(simTime()+timeout, timeoutEvent); } else // message arrived { // Acknowledgement received -- delete the stored message and cancel // the timeout event. ev << "Timer cancelled.\n"; cancelEvent(timeoutEvent); delete message; // Ready to send another one. message = generateNewMessage(); sendCopyOf(message); scheduleAt(simTime()+timeout, timeoutEvent); } }

void Tic8::initialize (   )  [virtual]

Reimplemented from cModule. { // Initialize variables. seq = 0; timeout = 1.0; timeoutEvent = new cMessage("timeoutEvent"); // Generate and send initial message. ev << "Sending initial message\n"; message = generateNewMessage(); sendCopyOf(message); scheduleAt(simTime()+timeout, timeoutEvent); }

void Tic8::sendCopyOf (  cMessage *  msg  )  [virtual]

{ // Duplicate message and send the copy. cMessage *copy = (cMessage *) msg->dup(); send(copy, "out"); }
