OMNeT++ inet::b to Int

Question

I'm trying to make an application that gets the size of an Ethernet chunk and stores it in a vector of ints. To get the chunk length I'm using the function provided by inet: chunk->getChunkLength(). Is there a way to convert the type inet::b to int?

Answer 1

To obtain the size of a chunk in bits use this code:

int bitSize = b(chunk->getChunkLength()).get();

If you want to obtain the size in bytes use this way:

int byteSize = B(chunk->getChunkLength()).get();
