addByteLength（）不添加字节以在omnet ++中发送消息

Question

I wrote a function for my own simulation model to create and send ARP requests. Here in the below code I have successfully created the ARP packet and set the byte size to 28. Now when I tried to encapsulate this created packet inside the link layer frame tempLinkLayerARPRequestFrame

                tempIPARPRequest = new IPv4ARP("IPv4ARP Request");
                tempIPARPRequest->setSourceIP(tempIPPacket->getSourceIP());
                tempIPARPRequest->setDestinationIP(
                        tempIPPacket->getDestinationIP());
                tempIPARPRequest->addByteLength(28);
                // encapsulate it 
                tempLinkLayerARPRequestFrame= new LinkLayerFrame("LinkARP Request");
                tempLinkLayerARPRequestFrame->setField1(this->Field1);
                tempLinkLayerARPRequestFrame->setField2(this->Field2);


                tempLinkLayerARPRequestFrame->setFrameType(0); //an ARP packet
                tempLinkLayerARPRequestFrame->addByteLength(30); //30Bytes
                tempLinkLayerARPRequestFrame->encapsulate(tempIPARPRequest);
                tempLinkLayerARPRequestFrame->setKind(0);

                send(tempLinkLayerARPRequestFrame->dup(), "toBelowSendQ");
                ARPRequestedCache[tempIPPacket->getDestinationIP()] = true;

But I see that the transmitted frame is of size 28 bytes instead of 28 + 30 = 58 bytes. Why is it happening or the encapsulate function is not appending the bytes?

Answer 1

In the presented code you are sending tempIPoIBARPRequest , but you didn't show this variable in code. And the packet tempLinkLayerARPRequestFrame , you expect to have 58 bytes is not sent anywhere.

To check actual size of tempLinkLayerARPRequestFrame try:

EV << "size of tempLinkLayerARPRequestFrame is " << tempLinkLayerARPRequestFrame->getByteLength() << " bytes \n";

It shows that tempLinkLayerARPRequestFrame has size equal to 58 bytes.

Answer 2

Core4Inet has a customization of Tkenv for console output.

The cPacket indeed gets encapsulated and the size too gets added. Whenever you reference the Core4Inet project it shows both the encapsulated cPacket's size as well as the parent cPacket's size [Just adjacent to it]. Check the console output properly [ If there is a horizontal scroll bar, then use it ].
