Detailed Description

template<typename Item, typename Container>
class ns3::Queue< Item, Container >

Template class for packet Queues.

This class defines the subset of the base APIs for packet queues in the ns-3 system that is dependent on the type of enqueued objects.

Queue is a template class. The type of the objects stored within the queue is specified by the type parameter, which can be any class providing a GetSize () method (e.g., Packet, QueueDiscItem, etc.). Subclasses need to implement the Enqueue, Dequeue, Remove and Peek methods, and are encouraged to leverage the DoEnqueue, DoDequeue, DoRemove, and DoPeek methods in doing so, to ensure that appropriate trace sources are called and statistics are maintained. The template parameter specifies the type of container used internally to store queue items. The container type must provide the methods insert(), erase() and clear() and define the iterator and const_iterator types, following the usual syntax of C++ containers. The default container type is std::list (as defined in queue-fwd.h). In case the container is such that an object stored within the queue is obtained from a container element through an operation other than dereferencing an iterator pointing to the container element, the container has to provide a public method named GetItem that returns the object stored within the queue that is included in the container element pointed to by a given const iterator.

Users of the Queue template class usually hold a queue through a smart pointer, hence forward declaration is recommended to avoid pulling the implementation of the templates included in this file. Thus, include queue-fwd.h, which provides a forward declaration for the Queue class that defines the default value for the template template parameter, instead of queue.h in your .h file. Then, include queue.h in the corresponding .cc file.

Template Parameters
Item[explicit] Type of the objects stored within the queue
Container[explicit] Type of the container that stores queue items

Member Function Documentation

◆ Dequeue()

template<typename Item , typename Container >
virtual Ptr<Item> ns3::Queue< Item, Container >::Dequeue ( )
pure virtual

Remove an item from the Queue (each subclass defines the position), counting it and tracing it as dequeued.

Returns
0 if the operation was not successful; the item otherwise.

Implemented in ns3::WifiMacQueue, and ns3::DropTailQueue< Item >.

◆ DoDequeue()

template<typename Item , typename Container >
Ptr< Item > ns3::Queue< Item, Container >::DoDequeue ( ConstIterator  pos)
protected

Pull the item to dequeue from the queue.

Parameters
posthe position of the item to dequeue
Returns
the item.

◆ DoDispose()

template<typename Item , typename Container >
void ns3::Queue< Item, Container >::DoDispose ( void  )
overrideprotectedvirtual

Destructor implementation.

This method is called by Dispose() or by the Object's destructor, whichever comes first.

Subclasses are expected to implement their real destruction code in an overridden version of this method and chain up to their parent's implementation once they are done. i.e, for simplicity, the destructor of every subclass should be empty and its content should be moved to the associated DoDispose() method.

It is safe to call GetObject() from within this method.

Reimplemented from ns3::Object.
