It's constructor(executed immediately when the simulator is executed) places the class name``Agent/ECHO'' into the OTcl name space.The mixing of case is by convention;recall from Section <A HREF="node24.html#sec:TclClass" tppabs="http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/doc/node24.html#sec:TclClass">3.5</A> in the earlier chapters thatthe ``/'' character is a hierarchy delimiter for the interpreted hierarchy.The definition of the []create method specifies how a C++shadow object should be created whenthe OTcl interpreter is instructed to create anobject of class ``Agent/ECHO''. In this case, a dynamically-allocatedobject is returned. This is the normal way new C++ shadow objectsare created.<P>Once we have the object creation set up, we will want to linkC++ member variables with corresponding variables in the OTclnname space, so that accesses to OTcl variables are actuallybacked by member variables in C++.Assume we would like OTcl to be able to adjust the sendinginterval and the packet size.This is accomplished in the class's constructor:<PRE> ECHO_Agent::ECHO_Agent() : Agent(PT_ECHO) { bind_time("interval_", &interval_); bind("packetSize_", &size_); }</PRE>Here, the C++ variables <TT>interval_</TT> and <TT>size_</TT> arelinked to the OTcl instance variables <TT>interval_</TT> and<TT>packetSize_</TT>, respectively.Any read or modify operation to the Otcl variables will resultin a corresponding access to the underlying C++ variables.The details of the []bind methods are described elsewhereSectionsec:VarBinds.The defined constant <TT>PT_ECHO</TT> is passed to the []Agentconstuctor so that the []Agent::allocpkt method may setthe packet type field used by the trace supportSectionsec:traceptype.In this case, <TT>PT_ECHO</TT> represents a new packet type and must be defined in trace.hSectionsec:traceformat.<P>Once object creation and variable binding is set up, we maywant to create methods implemented in C++ but which canbe invoked from OTclSectionsec:Commands.These are often control functions that initiate, terminate ormodify behavior.In our present example, we may wish to be able to start theping query agent from OTcl using a ``start'' directive.This may be implemented as follows:<PRE> int ECHO_Agent::command(int argc, const char*const* argv) { if (argc == 2) { if (strcmp(argv[1], "start") == 0) { timeout(0); return (TCL_OK); } } return (Agent::command(argc, argv)); }</PRE>Here, the []start method available to OTcl simply callsthe C++ member function []timeout which initiates thefirst packet generation and schedules the next.Note this class is so simple it does not even include away to be stopped.<P><HR><!--Navigation Panel--><A NAME="tex2html3084" HREF="node117.html" tppabs="http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/doc/node117.html"><IMG WIDTH="37" HEIGHT="24" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" ALT="next" SRC="file:/usr/share/latex2html/icons/next.png"></A> <A NAME="tex2html3078" HREF="node113.html" tppabs="http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/doc/node113.html"><IMG WIDTH="26" HEIGHT="24" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" ALT="up" SRC="file:/usr/share/latex2html/icons/up.png"></A> <A NAME="tex2html3072" HREF="node115.html" tppabs="http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/doc/node115.html"><IMG WIDTH="63" HEIGHT="24" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" ALT="previous" SRC="file:/usr/share/latex2html/icons/prev.png"></A> <A NAME="tex2html3080" HREF="node1.html" tppabs="http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/doc/node1.html"><IMG WIDTH="65" HEIGHT="24" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" ALT="contents" SRC="file:/usr/share/latex2html/icons/contents.png"></A> <A NAME="tex2html3082" HREF="node590.html" tppabs="http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/doc/node590.html"><IMG WIDTH="43" HEIGHT="24" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" ALT="index" SRC="file:/usr/share/latex2html/icons/index.png"></A> <BR><B> Next:</B> <A NAME="tex2html3085" HREF="node117.html" tppabs="http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/doc/node117.html">10.6.4 Using the agent</A><B> Up:</B> <A NAME="tex2html3079" HREF="node113.html" tppabs="http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/doc/node113.html">10.6 Creating a New</A><B> Previous:</B> <A NAME="tex2html3073" HREF="node115.html" tppabs="http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/doc/node115.html">10.6.2 The recv() and</A>   <B> <A NAME="tex2html3081" HREF="node1.html" tppabs="http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/doc/node1.html">Contents</A></B>   <B> <A NAME="tex2html3083" HREF="node590.html" tppabs="http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/doc/node590.html">Index</A></B> <!--End of Navigation Panel--><ADDRESS>2003-09-23</ADDRESS></BODY></HTML>
