Class Layer2Frame

java.lang.Object

Layer2Frame

public class Layer2Frame
extends java.lang.Object

This class represents a Layer2 Frame according to our protocol definition. It can be used to create a new Layer2Frame from values, or to parse a string of bits into a Layer2Frame instance.

Constructor and Description
Layer2Frame(int destAddr, int srcAddr, int vlanId, java.lang.String payload) Create a new Layer2Frame, given values for many fields, and deriving the values for the other fields.
Layer2Frame(java.lang.String bits) Given a string of bits which should be a legal Layer2Frame, parse it into its component pieces.

Constructor Detail

Layer2Frame

public Layer2Frame(int destAddr,
           int srcAddr,
           int vlanId,
           java.lang.String payload)

Create a new Layer2Frame, given values for many fields, and deriving the values for the other fields. This method is used when the code is creating a new frame to be sent. The other constructor is used for parsing a received Layer2Frame as a string of bits.

Layer2Frame

public Layer2Frame(java.lang.String bits)

Given a string of bits which should be a legal Layer2Frame, parse it into its component pieces. Throw an error if there are problems.

Method Detail

getDestAddr

public int getDestAddr()

getSrcAddr

public int getSrcAddr()

getLength

public int getLength()

getVlanId

public int getVlanId()

getPayload

public java.lang.String getPayload()

getParity

public int getParity()

toBinary

public static java.lang.String toBinary(int val,
                        int length)

Convert the integer value val to a string of 0s and 1s of the given length.

computeParity

public static java.lang.String computeParity(java.lang.String bits,
                             int modValue)

Compute the parity of the string of bits, by counting the number of 1 bits in the string and modding by the modValue. Return the result as a 0-padded 8-"bit" String.

toDecimal

public static int toDecimal(java.lang.String bits)

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Create the String of 0s and 1s representing the whole frame, with the parity field on the end, and the 0 pre-amble field on the front.

Overrides:
