All Implemented Interfaces:

Protocol

public class MulticastIpProtocol

extends Object

implements Protocol

The MulticastIpProtocol class is a protocol class encapsulating the IP Multicast protocol. Each Session created by this class is dedicated to a (IP multicast address, port) network endpoint. A simple threading model is used: a thread is dedicated to each Session created by MulticastIpProtocol.

Constructor Detail

MulticastIpProtocol

public MulticastIpProtocol(MarshallerFactory marshaller_factory)

Build a new MulticastIpProtocol

Parameters:

marshaller_factory - the MarshallerFactory used by the protocol to build incoming messages

Method Detail

isAnInvocationProtocol

public boolean isAnInvocationProtocol()

Returns false

Specified by:

isAnInvocationProtocol in interface Protocol

Returns:

false

getMtu

public int getMtu()

Returns the MulticastIpProtocol MTU (maximum transmition unit). The upper protocol must make sure to supply messages to MulticastIpProtocol whose size does not exceed this MTU, otherwise messages will be truncated

Returns:

the MulticastIpProtocol MTU (maximum transmition unit)

newSessionIdentifier

public SessionIdentifier newSessionIdentifier(String address,
                                              int port)
                                       throws CommunicationException

Builds a new SessionIdentifier associated with an (IP multicast address, port) pair

Returns:

the created SessionIdentifier

Throws:

CommunicationException - raised if the supplied parameters do not correspond to a valid IP multicast address

newProtocolGraph

public ProtocolGraph newProtocolGraph(String address,
                                      int port)
                               throws CommunicationException

Builds a new Protocol graph associated with an (IP multicast address, port) pair

Returns:

the created graph

Throws:

CommunicationException - raised if the supplied parameters do not correspond to a valid IP multicast address
