Detailed Description

A forwarding table for the tag-based, single-tree model.

A TagsFIB associates predicates to interfaces as in a single-tree routing scheme. A TagsFIB uses the tag-based model, thus a predicate in a TagsFIB is a lists of tagsets. A tagset is a set of tags representing a set of requested properties of a message. An interface is simply an identifier, corresponding to the link-level address of a neighbor.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void siena::TagsFIB::ifconfig	(	InterfaceId	,
		const TagSetList &
	)

pure virtual

Associates a predicate to an interface.

This is the method that constructs the forwarding table. This method must be called once for each interface, after the forwarding table is constructed or after it has been cleared. Using this method twice on the same interface without clearing the forwarding table has undefined effects.

virtual void siena::TagsFIB::match	(	const TagSet &	,
		MatchHandler &
	)		const

pure virtual

Processes a message, calling the output() function on the given MatchHandler object for each matching interface.

Matches a message against the predicates stored in the forwarding table. The result is processed through the MatchHandler passed as a parameter to this function.

Notice that the forwarding table must be consolidated by calling consolidate() before this function is called.
