Answer 1

I am also new to the OMNET++ and inet. I have exactly same problem as yours. When I search the "wlan" node, I found it was used as submodules in /inet/node/base/LinkLayerNodeBase.ned. The type of "wlan" in default is , which source code is under "/inet/linklayer/ieee80211/ieee80211Interface.ned". I suppose we are using same tutorial, then the omnetpp.ini has claimed that the "wlan" type is AckingWirelessInterface in this sentence *.host*.wlan[0].typename = "AckingWirelessInterface". And this AckingWirelessInterface is actually another compound module "/inet/linklayer/acking/AckingWirelessInterface" that implement "IWirelessInterface". To find how it handle the packages, you should go to his submodules:. More specifically, you can check "inet/linklayer/acking/AckingMac.cc" and "inet/physicallayer/unitdisk/UnitDiskRadio.cc" to find module and module.
