Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Transport()

nfd::face::Transport::Transport ( )
default

Default constructor.

This constructor initializes static properties to invalid values. Subclass constructor must explicitly set every static property.

This constructor initializes TransportState to UP; subclass constructor can rely on this default value.

◆ ~Transport()

nfd::face::Transport::~Transport ( )

Member Function Documentation

◆ afterChangePersistency()

void nfd::face::Transport::afterChangePersistency ( ndn::nfd::FacePersistency  oldPersistency)
protectedvirtual

Invoked after the persistency has been changed.

The base class implementation does nothing. When overridden in a subclass, the function should update internal states after persistency setting has been changed.

Reimplemented in nfd::face::UnicastUdpTransport, nfd::face::UnicastEthernetTransport, and nfd::face::TcpTransport.

Definition at line 170 of file transport.cpp.

◆ canChangePersistencyTo()

bool nfd::face::Transport::canChangePersistencyTo ( ndn::nfd::FacePersistency  newPersistency) const

Check whether the persistency can be changed to newPersistency.

This function serves as the external API, and invokes the protected function canChangePersistencyToImpl() to perform further checks if newPersistency differs from the current persistency.

Returns
true if the change can be performed, false otherwise

Definition at line 130 of file transport.cpp.

◆ canChangePersistencyToImpl()

bool nfd::face::Transport::canChangePersistencyToImpl ( ndn::nfd::FacePersistency  newPersistency) const
protectedvirtual

Invoked by canChangePersistencyTo to perform the check.

Base class implementation returns false.

Parameters
newPersistencythe new persistency, guaranteed to be different from current persistency

Reimplemented in nfd::face::UnicastUdpTransport, nfd::face::UnicastEthernetTransport, and nfd::face::TcpTransport.

Definition at line 146 of file transport.cpp.

◆ close()

void nfd::face::Transport::close ( )

Request the transport to be closed.

This operation is effective only if transport is in UP or DOWN state, otherwise it has no effect. The transport changes state to CLOSING, and performs cleanup procedure. The state will be changed to CLOSED when cleanup is complete, which may happen synchronously or asynchronously.

Definition at line 67 of file transport.cpp.

◆ doClose()

virtual void nfd::face::Transport::doClose ( )
protectedpure virtual

Performs Transport specific operations to close the transport.

This is invoked once by close() after changing state to CLOSING. It will not be invoked by Transport class if the transport is already CLOSING or CLOSED.

When the cleanup procedure is complete, this method should change state to CLOSED. This transition can happen synchronously or asynchronously.

Implemented in nfd::face::StreamTransport< Protocol >, nfd::face::StreamTransport< boost::asio::ip::tcp >, nfd::face::StreamTransport< boost::asio::local::stream_protocol >, nfd::face::DatagramTransport< Protocol, Addressing >, nfd::face::DatagramTransport< boost::asio::ip::udp, Unicast >, nfd::face::DatagramTransport< boost::asio::ip::udp, Multicast >, nfd::face::WebSocketTransport, nfd::face::TcpTransport, nfd::face::NullTransport, nfd::face::InternalForwarderTransport, and nfd::face::EthernetTransport.

◆ getCounters()

Definition at line 170 of file transport.hpp.

◆ getExpirationTime()

time::steady_clock::time_point nfd::face::Transport::getExpirationTime ( ) const

const LinkService* nfd::face::Transport::getLinkService ( ) const
inlinenoexcept

Returns the LinkService to which this transport is attached.

Definition at line 155 of file transport.hpp.

◆ getLinkService() [2/2]

LinkService* nfd::face::Transport::getLinkService ( )
inlinenoexcept

◆ getLocalUri()

Definition at line 200 of file transport.hpp.

◆ getMtu()

ssize_t nfd::face::Transport::getMtu ( ) const
inlinenoexcept

Returns the maximum payload size.

Return values
MTU_UNLIMITEDThe transport has no limit on payload size.

This size is the maximum packet size that can be sent or received through this transport.

For a datagram-based transport, this is typically the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU), after the overhead of headers introduced by the transport has been accounted for. For a stream-based transport, this is typically unlimited (MTU_UNLIMITED).

Definition at line 270 of file transport.hpp.

Member Data Documentation

◆ afterStateChange

signal::Signal<Transport, TransportState, TransportState> nfd::face::Transport::afterStateChange

Signals when the transport state changes.

Definition at line 299 of file transport.hpp.

◆ nInBytes

ByteCounter nfd::face::TransportCounters::nInBytes
inherited

Total incoming bytes.

This counter includes headers imposed by NFD (such as NDNLP), but excludes overhead of underlying protocol (such as IP header). For a datagram-based transport, an incoming packet that cannot be parsed as TLV would not be counted.

Definition at line 78 of file transport.hpp.

◆ nInPackets

PacketCounter nfd::face::TransportCounters::nInPackets
inherited

Count of incoming packets.

A 'packet' typically means a top-level TLV block. For a datagram-based transport, an incoming packet that cannot be parsed as TLV would not be counted.

Definition at line 62 of file transport.hpp.

◆ nOutBytes

ByteCounter nfd::face::TransportCounters::nOutBytes
inherited

Total outgoing bytes.

This counter includes headers imposed by NFD (such as NDNLP), but excludes overhead of underlying protocol (such as IP header). This counter is increased only if transport is UP.

Definition at line 86 of file transport.hpp.

◆ nOutPackets

PacketCounter nfd::face::TransportCounters::nOutPackets
inherited

Count of outgoing packets.

A 'packet' typically means a top-level TLV block. This counter is incremented only if transport is UP.

Definition at line 69 of file transport.hpp.
