DatalinkLayer

edu.gwu.simplenetsim
Interface DatalinkLayer

An implementation of the datalink layer must implement this interface, which itself extends StackLayer.

Method Summary
`void`	`init(int nodeNum, NetworkLayer networkLayer, PhysicalLayer physicalLayer)` Initialization passes in the layers above and below.
`void`	`receivePacket(DatalinkPacket packet)` This is called by the layer below, in this case, the simulator.
`void`	`sendPacket(DatalinkPacket packet)` This is called by the layer above.

Initialization passes in the layers above and below.

Parameters:: nodeNum - an int value; networkLayer - a NetworkLayer value; physicalLayer - a PhysicalLayer value

void sendPacket(DatalinkPacket packet)

This is called by the layer above.

void receivePacket(DatalinkPacket packet)

This is called by the layer below, in this case, the simulator.
