transmitPacket
public void transmitPacket(InputChannelVector inputChannels,
OutputChannelVector outputChannels)
- transmitPacket is the method you will write for this lab. It
has two arguments, one which is an
InputChannelVector
,
and the other an OutputChannelVector
,
corresponding to the inputs and outputs available to you. Note
that the elements passed exist, but are perhaps disabled, full, or
empty. You will need to be aware of these conditions.
transmitPacket is called repeatedly by a Node
from within a while (true) {}
loop. You
should deal with a single task on each iteration. Failure to
return promptly will result in unpredictable behavior.
