Point-to-point Links (PP)

 

The point-to-point network type can be used to connect two routers or hosts. It differs from the Ethernet in that it should be thought of as two links, one in each direction. Packets flowing in one direction cannot affect flows in the other direction.

The following arguments can be used to modify the behavior of a simulated point-to-point link. They have the same meanings as those specified above for the Ethernet.

delay=<integer>[unit]                  # default is 0
minPacket=<integer>                    # default is 0
maxPacket=<integer>                    # default is 1500
pktHeader=<integer>                    # default is 0
pktOverhead=<integer>                  # default is 0
rate=<real>[unit] | T1 | T3            # MUST be specified
