Detailed Description

Includes the definitions for the DevMgrIface and DevMgr classes. DevMgr is a base class for SwitchWContexts (and by extension Switch). It provides facilities to send and receive packets, as well as manage ports. DevMgr follows the pimpl design. Different implementations are available as backend and they all implements the DevMgrIface interface. The different implementations are:

• BmiDevMgrImp: uses the BMI library (a libpcap wrapper) to send and receive packets
• PacketInDevMgrImp: uses a nanomsg PAIR socket to send and receive packets
• FilesDevMgrImp: reads incoming packets from pcap files and writes outgoing packet to different pcap files
