Class FRAG


  • public class FRAG
    extends Protocol
    Fragmentation layer. Fragments messages larger than FRAG_SIZE into smaller packets. Reassembles fragmented packets into bigger ones. The fragmentation number is prepended to the messages as a header (and removed at the receiving side).

    Each fragment is identified by (a) the sender (part of the message to which the header is appended), (b) the fragmentation ID (which is unique per FRAG layer (monotonically increasing) and (c) the fragement ID which ranges from 0 to number_of_fragments-1.

    Requirement: lossless delivery (e.g. NAK, ACK). No requirement on ordering. Works for both unicast and multicast messages.

        Specified by:
        getName in class Protocol
      • getFragSize

        public int getFragSize()
      • setFragSize

        public void setFragSize​(int s)

      • getNumberOfReceivedFragments

        public long getNumberOfReceivedFragments()
      • setProperties

        public boolean setProperties​(java.util.Properties props)
        Setup the Protocol instance acording to the configuration string
        Overrides:
        setProperties in class Protocol
      • init

        public void init()
                  throws java.lang.Exception
        Description copied from class: Protocol
        Called after instance has been created (null constructor) and before protocol is started. Properties are already set. Other protocols are not yet connected and events cannot yet be sent.
        Overrides:
        init in class Protocol
        Throws:
        java.lang.Exception - Thrown if protocol cannot be initialized successfully. This will cause the ProtocolStack to fail, so the channel constructor will throw an exception
      • down

        public java.lang.Object down​(Event evt)
        Fragment a packet if larger than frag_size (add a header). Otherwise just pass down. Only add a header if framentation is needed !
        Overrides:
        down in class Protocol
      • up

        public java.lang.Object up​(Event evt)
        If event is a message, if it is fragmented, re-assemble fragments into big message and pass up the stack.
        Overrides:
        up in class Protocol
