It would be great to have apps (tcp/udp client/server) that could tunnel information from a given TCP/UDP port to somewhere in the simulated network. On the other end the corresponding app would get the APP data and would send that to a real service on a pre-configured port. This is how the OMNET sockets sample is working. We could name this ClientTCPSocket / ServerTCPSocket /ClientUDPSocket / ServerUDPSocket
The usecase would be:
Install a browser and an apache server on a physical machine. The browser obviously can connect to the http server on localhost.
Instead of connecting to localhost:80 connect to localhost:8080 which would connect to a ClientTCPSocket module in the simulation. That would extract the app data and send it to the simulated network (the source address need to be replaced).
On the other end ServerTCPSocket receives it and the data is sent to a preconfigured IP:port (the webserver in this case)
This would allow to run real application via a simulated omnet network.
