Detailed Description

Flow statistics telling how much flow should be sent along a link.

This is done by creating "flow shares" and using std::map's upper_bound() method to look them up with a random number. A flow share is the difference between a key in a map and the previous key. So one key in the map doesn't actually mean anything by itself.

void FlowStat::EraseShare ( StationID  st  ) 

Erase shares for specified station.

Parameters:
st Next Hop to be removed.

uint FlowStat::GetShare ( StationID  st  )  const

Get flow for a station.

Parameters:
st Station to get flow for.
Returns:
Flow for st.

StationID FlowStat::GetVia ( StationID  excluded,
StationID  excluded2 = INVALID_STATION 
) const

Get a station a package can be routed to, but exclude the given one.

Parameters:
excluded StationID not to be selected.
Returns:
A station ID from the shares map.

Definition at line 3987 of file station_cmd.cpp.

StationID FlowStat::GetVia (  )  const [inline]

Get a station a package can be routed to.

This done by drawing a random number between 0 and sum_shares and then looking that up in the map with lower_bound. So each share gets selected with a probability dependent on its flow.

Returns:
A station ID from the shares map.
