NAME

Discard — Click element; drops all packets

SYNOPSIS

Discard([keywords ACTIVE, BURST])

Ports: 1 input, no outputs

DESCRIPTION

Discards all packets received on its single input. If used in a pull context, it initiates pulls whenever packets are available, and listens for activity notification, such as that available from Queue.

Keyword arguments are:

• ACTIVE — Boolean. If false, then Discard does not pull packets. Default is true. Only meaningful in pull context.
• BURST — Unsigned. Number of packets to pull per scheduling. Default is 1. Only meaningful in pull context.

ELEMENT HANDLERS

• active (read/write) — Returns or sets the ACTIVE parameter. Only present if Discard is in pull context.
• count (read-only) — Returns the number of packets discarded.
• reset_counts (write-only) — Resets "count" to 0.
