org.jgroups.Address getLocalAddress()

Returns the Address of the Local Node

Returns:

local Address

getChannelName

getNetworkGraph

NetworkGraph<OLSRNode,Weight> getNetworkGraph()

Retrieves the NetworkGraph with the topology below us

Returns:

Topology Graph

getView

org.jgroups.View getView()

View

close

void close()

Stops the channel

send

void send(org.jgroups.Message msg)

Sends the message to the destination of the messages. As the normal Channel, if the destination is a multicast address, the message is sent to all members of this group.

send

void send(org.jgroups.Address dst,
          org.jgroups.Address src,
          java.io.Serializable content)

Sends an unicast message to the selected member.

sendToNeighbors

void sendToNeighbors(java.io.Serializable content)

Send a message to all neighbours (1 hop) of the current group

unregisterListener

void unregisterListener(java.io.Serializable identifier)

Add a Message listener in the transport layer

Parameters:

listener -

PullPushAdapter

registerListener

void registerListener(java.io.Serializable identifier,
                      org.jgroups.MessageListener messageListener)

Removes a Message listener from the transport layer

Parameters:

listener -
