Basic class for the application layer

This is the generic class for all application layer modules. If you want to implement your own application layer you have to subclass your module from this class.

In this implementation all nodes randomly send broadcast packets to all connected neighbors. Every node who receives this packet will send a reply to the originator node.

Usage diagram:

The following diagram shows usage relationships between modules, networks and channels. Unresolved module (and channel) types are missing from the diagram. Click here to see the full picture.

Used in compound modules:

If a module type shows up more than once, that means it has been defined in more than one NED file.

P2PHost	The P2PHost is a compound module that implements a very simple peer to peer host. Instead of an "snrEval" and "decider" module it just contains a simple "phy" module that sends unicast messages
ClientHost	The ClientHost is a compound module that implements a very simple mobile client. It only consists of basic modules and the ClientApplLayer.
FloodHost	Flood Host
Host	(no description)

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
debug	bool	debug switch
headerLength	numeric const	length of the application message header (in bits)

Gates:

Name	Direction	Description
lowergateIn	input	from network layer
lowerControlIn	input
lowergateOut	output	to network layer
