Detailed Description

This class represents a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) network.

TCP provides reliable, ordered delivery of a stream of bytes from a program on one computer to another program on another computer.

Warning: This class shouldn't be used directly. You better use vpClient and vpServer to simulate your network. Some exemples are provided in these classes.

Member Function Documentation

void vpNetwork::addDecodingRequest ( vpRequest * req )

Add a decoding request to the emitter. This request will be used to decode the received messages. Each request must have a different id.

Warning: vpRequest is a virtual pure class. It has to be implemented according to the way how you want to decode the message received.

See also: vpNetwork::removeDecodingRequest()

Parameters

req	: Request to add.

Definition at line 84 of file vpNetwork.cpp.

References vpRequest::getId(), and request_list.

unsigned int vpNetwork::getMaxSizeReceivedMessage ( )

inline

Get the maximum size that the emitter can receive (in request mode).

See also: vpNetwork::setMaxSizeReceivedMessage()

Returns: Acutal max size value.

Definition at line 168 of file vpNetwork.h.

int vpNetwork::getReceptorIndex ( const char * name )

Get the receptor index from its name. The name can be either the IP, or its name on the network.

Parameters

name	: Name of the receptor.

Returns: Index of the receptor.

Definition at line 139 of file vpNetwork.cpp.

References receptor_list, and vpERROR_TRACE.

std::string vpNetwork::getRequestIdFromIndex ( const int & ind )

inline

Get the Id of the request at the index ind.

Parameters

ind	: Index of the request.

Returns: Id of the request.

Definition at line 155 of file vpNetwork.h.

void vpNetwork::print ( const char * id = "" )

template<typename T >

int vpNetwork::receive	(	T *	object,
		const int &	sizeOfObject = `sizeof(T)`
	)

Receives a object. The size of the received object is suppose to be the size of the type of the object. Note that a received message can correspond to a deconnection signal.

Warning: Using this function means that you know what kind of object you are suppose to receive, and when you are suppose to receive. If the emitter has several receptors. It might be a problem, and in that case you better use the "request" option.

See also: vpNetwork::receiveRequest(); vpNetwork::receiveRequestOnce(); vpNetwork::receiveAndDecodeRequest(); vpNetwork::receiveAndDecodeRequestOnce()

Parameters

object	: Received object.
sizeOfObject	: Size of the received object.

Returns: the number of bytes received, or -1 if an error occured.

template<typename T >

int vpNetwork::receiveFrom	(	T *	object,
		const int &	receptorEmitting,
		const int &	sizeOfObject = `sizeof(T)`
	)

Receives a object from a receptor, by specifying its size or not. Note that a received message can correspond to a deconnection signal.

Warning: Using this function means that you know what kind of object you are suppose to receive, and when you are suppose to receive. If the emitter has several receptors. It might be a problem, and in that case you better use the "request" mode.
