FrameSimulatorPlugin

The FrameSimulatorPlugin is the base class for detector specific implementations that can be loaded into the frameSimulator application.

This class defines a few virtual methods to be implemented by concrete implementations. Some are pure virtual - annotated with * - and some are optional. These are:

• populate_options

• setup

• simulate*

These methods are used to provide options to --help output, parse commandline options and run the simulation.

There is also a helper child class FrameSimulatorPluginUDP that provides some utility for loading pcap files, providing virtual methods to process the file into packets, and implements generic setup and simulate methods. The methods for child classes to implement are:

• extract_frames*

• create_frames*
