Detailed Description

Manages a node.

A node represents a separate entity in a peer-to-peer network, typically a process on a cluster node or on a shared-memory system. It should have at least one Connection through which is reachable. A Node provides the basic communication facilities through message passing.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CO_API co::Node::Node ( )

Construct a new Node.

virtual CO_API co::Node::~Node ( ) [protected, virtual]

Destructs this node.

Member Function Documentation

CO_API void co::Node::addConnectionDescription ( ConnectionDescriptionPtr cd )

Adds a new description how this node can be reached.

Parameters:

cd	the connection description.

virtual CO_API NodePtr co::Node::createNode ( const uint32_t type ) [protected, virtual]

Factory method to create a new node.

Parameters:

type	the type the node type

Returns:: the node.

See also:: getType()

CO_API bool co::Node::deserialize ( std::string & data )

Deserialize the node information, consumes given data.

ConnectionPtr co::Node::getConnection ( ) const [inline]

Returns:: the connection to this node.

Definition at line 81 of file node.h.

CO_API ConnectionDescriptions co::Node::getConnectionDescriptions ( ) const

Returns:: the number of stored connection descriptions.

int64_t co::Node::getLastReceiveTime ( ) const [inline]

Returns:: last receive time.

Definition at line 195 of file node.h.

virtual uint32_t co::Node::getType ( ) const [inline, virtual]

Returns:: the type of the node, used during connect().

Definition at line 198 of file node.h.

References co::NODETYPE_CO_NODE.

bool co::Node::isLocal ( ) const [inline]

Returns:: true if the node is local (listening), false otherwise.

Definition at line 59 of file node.h.

bool co::Node::multicast ( const Packet & packet ) [inline]

Multicasts a packet to the multicast group of this node.

Parameters:

packet the packet.

Returns:: the success status of the transaction.

Definition at line 178 of file node.h.

References useMulticast().

Here is the call graph for this function:

CO_API bool co::Node::removeConnectionDescription ( ConnectionDescriptionPtr cd )

Removes a connection description.

Parameters:

cd	the connection description.

Returns:: true if the connection description was removed, false otherwise.

bool co::Node::send ( const Packet & packet ) [inline]

Sends a packet to this node.

Parameters:

packet the packet.

Returns:: the success status of the transaction.

Definition at line 95 of file node.h.

bool co::Node::send	(	Packet &	packet,
		const std::string &	string
	)		`[inline]`

Sends a packet with a string to the node.

The data is send as a new packet containing the original packet and the string, so that it is received as one packet by the node.

It is assumed that the last 8 bytes in the packet are usable for the string. This is used for optimising the send of short strings and on the receiver side to access the string. The node implementation gives examples of this usage.

Parameters:

packet	the packet.
string	the string.

Returns:: the success status of the transaction.

Definition at line 118 of file node.h.

template<class T >

bool co::Node::send	(	Packet &	packet,
		const std::vector< T > &	data
	)		`[inline]`

Sends a packet with additional data to the node.

The data is send as a new packet containing the original packet and the string, so that it is received as one packet by the node.

It is assumed that the last item in the packet is of sizeof(T) and usable for the data.

Parameters:

packet	the packet.
data	the vector containing the data.

Returns:: the success status of the transaction.

Definition at line 140 of file node.h.

bool co::Node::send	(	Packet &	packet,
		const void *	data,
		const uint64_t	size
	)		`[inline]`

Sends a packet with additional data to the node.

The data is send as a new packet containing the original packet and the data, so that it is received as one packet by the node.

It is assumed that the last 8 bytes in the packet are usable for the data. This is used for optimising the send of short data and on the receiver side to access the data. The node implementation gives examples of this usage.
