[NS2] Dropping a Packet

Suppose you have a pointer "p". You can drop the packet by executing

Packet::free(p)

Also the packet "*p" can be dropped from within the Connector object by invoking function drop as follows:

drop(p);

Note that "drop(p)" is a function of class Connector, and therefore must be invoked from within the scope of class Connector.


For more information about Connector and Packet, see Chapters 5 and 8, respectively, in the following book from Springer:
