The Network Layer subsystem is crucial for simulating communication channels within the AsyncFlow project, a Simulation Library/Tool. It models the transfer of requests between different simulated actors, incorporating realistic network characteristics like latency and bandwidth constraints.
This is the foundational component of the Network Layer, representing a single, unidirectional communication link. It encapsulates the core logic for simulating network characteristics such as latency, dropout rates, and managing concurrent connections. It acts as the primary building block for all network interactions within the simulation.
Related Classes/Methods:
This component serves as the external interface for sending RequestState objects across the simulated network link. It is responsible for initiating the asynchronous process of a request's journey through the network, preparing it for delivery.
Related Classes/Methods:
This component contains the core simulation logic for the actual transmission and delivery of a request over the network link. It calculates simulated latency, checks for potential request dropouts, and ultimately places the processed request into the destination actor's inbox.
