PointToPointNetDevice doesn't support TapBridgeHelper
I have created two containers one left and one right. I had a code given to me and was asked to attached left to one of csma nodes and right to one of the server nodes. So below I attached the left tap to one of the csma nodes.
NetDeviceContainer csmaDevices;
csmaDevices = csma.Install (csmaNodes);
// Use the TapBridgeHelper to connect to the pre-configured tap devices for
// the left side. We go with "UseBridge" mode since the CSMA devices support
// promiscuous mode and can therefore make it appear that the bridge is
// extended into ns-3. The install method essentially bridges the specified
// tap to the specified CSMA device.
TapBridgeHelper tapBridge;
tapBridge.SetAttribute ("Mode", StringValue ("UseBridge"));
tapBridge.SetAttribute ("DeviceName", StringValue ("tap-left"));
tapBridge.Install (csmaNodes.Get (0), csmaDevices.Get (0));
I had no issue attaching left to one of the csmaNodes(Client).
My issue is on the server side.
// set remote Servers
TimeValue val (Time("0ms"));
std::vector<
NetDeviceContainer> derDeviceAdjacencyList (N);
for(uint32_t i=0; i<derDeviceAdjacencyList.size (); ++i)
{
std::ostringstream delaySt;
delaySt << 15 + (i) * 35 << "ms";
std::ostringstream dataRate;
dataRate << 15 - (i) * 3 << "Mbps";
val.Set(Time(delaySt.str())); // required for delays
p2p.SetDeviceAttribute ("DataRate", StringValue (dataRate.str()));
p2p.SetDeviceAttribute ("Mtu", UintegerValue (1500));
p2p.SetChannelAttribute ("Delay", val);
derDeviceAdjacencyList[i] = p2p.Install (derAdjacencyList[i]);
//csmaDevices = csma.Install (csmaNodes);
}
TapBridgeHelper tapBridge;
tapBridge.SetAttribute ("DeviceName", StringValue ("tap-right"));
tapBridge.Install (derNodes.Get (1), derDeviceAdjacencyList[1].Get(1));
This is the output I get from the terminal :

This is happening because you are trying to use the TapBridge in
'UseBridge' mode with a PointToPointNetDevice, which doesn't support
bridging.
Some documentation about the different modes is here:
https://www.nsnam.org/docs/models/html/tap.html#
I recommend reconfiguring your topology a bit (even if you have to
insert an additional node/LAN) so that you can instead bind a Csma
device to this tap bridge. I don't think PointToPoint will work well
because it is not a device type that uses 48-bit MAC addresses.
