NodeType

All Implemented Interfaces:
```
public enum NodeType

                    
```
Enumeration of node types available in queueing network models.
Each node type represents a different functional component in a queueing network, with specific behavior for processing, routing, or transforming jobs. Nodes are the fundamental building blocks that are connected to form complete network models.
Node categories include:
- Service nodes: Queue, Delay - process jobs with service times
- Routing nodes: Router, Fork, Join - control job flow
- Source/Sink nodes: Source, Sink - job creation and destruction
- Special nodes: Cache, ClassSwitch, Logger - specialized functionality
- Petri net nodes: Place, Transition - for Petri net models

Enum Constants
Enum Constant	Description
`Transition`	Transition node in Petri net models - fires when enabled
`Place`	Place node in Petri net models - holds tokens
`Fork`	Fork node - splits jobs into parallel tasks
`Router`	Router node - directs jobs without service time
`Cache`	Cache node - implements cache replacement with hit/miss routing
`Logger`	Logger node - records job passage for monitoring
`ClassSwitch`	Class switch node - changes job class based on probabilities
`Delay`	Delay station - infinite servers with no queueing
`Source`	Source node - generates jobs according to arrival process
`Sink`	Sink node - removes completed jobs from the network
`Join`	Join node - synchronizes parallel tasks from fork
`Queue`	Queue station - finite servers with queueing

```
 static Array<NodeType> values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they're declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants.
    
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they're declared
  - valueOf
```
 static NodeType valueOf(String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
