MarkovScheduler

simple module

This module implements a packet scheduler using a Markov process that has as many states as input gates the scheduler has. The input gate for the next packet is determined by the current state of the Markov process.

Inheritance diagram

The following diagram shows inheritance relationships for this type. Unresolved types are missing from the diagram.

Used in compound modules

Name	Type	Description
BurstyPacketProducer	compound module	This module mixes two different packet sources to generate bursty traffic.

Used in

Name	Type	Description
MarkovSchedulerTutorialStep	network	(no description)

Extends

Name	Type	Description
PacketSchedulerBase	simple module	This is a base module for various packet scheduler modules. Derived modules must implement a single packet scheduler function which determines the index of the input gate for the pulled packet.

Parameters

Name	Type	Default value	Description
displayStringTextFormat	string	"classified %p pk (%l)\ncurrent state: %s"	determines the text that is written on top of the submodule
reverseOrder	bool	false
clockModule	string	""	relative path of a module that implements IClock(1,2); optional
initialState	int	0	the start state of the Markov process
transitionProbabilities	string		the transition matrix (N x N) of the Markov process, specified as a list of probabilities
waitIntervals	string		the amount of time the Markov process stays in a given state, a list of intervals (N) indexed by the state
