Detailed Description

QKD control is a network component with the knowledge of the network status.

Introspection did not find any typical Config paths.

It should perform network management through distributed protocols or centralized entities.

Note: In the current version of QKDNetSim, QKDControl can be installed on an independent node without a direct QKD connection. It is in charge of establishing QKD links, and it contains a list of QKD links with associated QKD buffers implemented in a QKD network.

Attributes

BufferList: The list of buffers associated to this QKD Control.
- Set with class: ns3::ObjectPtrContainerValue
- Underlying type: ns3::Ptr< ns3::QKDControl>
- Flags: read

No TraceSources are defined for this type.
Size of this type is 112 bytes (on a 64-bit architecture).
