Name	Type	Description
AlertSender	simple module	This module generates periodic alert messages and sends them to a specified multicast group or unicast destination. The packet size, transmission period, start time, and stop time are configurable using the corresponding parameters. The destination address must be a multicast IP address. This module can be used in simulations that require periodic alert generation via device-to-device (D2D) communications, such as vehicular networks.
