Constructor Detail

SprayAndWaitRouter

public SprayAndWaitRouter(Settings s)

SprayAndWaitRouter

protected SprayAndWaitRouter(SprayAndWaitRouter r)

Copy constructor.

Parameters:

r - The router prototype where setting values are copied from

Method Detail

receiveMessage

public int receiveMessage(Message m,
                 DTNHost from)

Description copied from class: MessageRouter

Try to start receiving a message from another host.

Overrides:

receiveMessage in class ActiveRouter

Parameters:

m - Message to put in the receiving buffer

from - Who the message is from

Returns:

Value zero if the node accepted the message (RCV_OK), value less than zero if node rejected the message (e.g. DENIED_OLD), value bigger than zero if the other node should try later (e.g. TRY_LATER_BUSY).

messageTransferred

public Message messageTransferred(java.lang.String id,
                         DTNHost from)

Description copied from class: MessageRouter

This method should be called (on the receiving host) after a message was successfully transferred. The transferred message is put to the message buffer unless this host is the final recipient of the message.

Overrides:

messageTransferred in class ActiveRouter

Parameters:

id - Id of the transferred message

from - Host the message was from (previous hop)

Returns:

The message that this host received

createNewMessage

public boolean createNewMessage(Message msg)

Description copied from class: MessageRouter

Creates a new message to the router.

Overrides:

createNewMessage in class ActiveRouter

Parameters:

msg - The message to create

Returns:

True if the creation succeeded, false if not (e.g. the message was too big for the buffer)

update

public void update()

Description copied from class: ActiveRouter

Checks out all sending connections to finalize the ready ones and abort those whose connection went down. Also drops messages whose TTL <= 0 (checking every one simulated minute).

Overrides:

update in class ActiveRouter

See Also:

ActiveRouter.addToSendingConnections(Connection)

getMessagesWithCopiesLeft

protected java.util.List<Message> getMessagesWithCopiesLeft()

Creates and returns a list of messages this router is currently carrying and still has copies left to distribute (nrof copies > 1).

Returns:

A list of messages that have copies left

transferDone

protected void transferDone(Connection con)

Called just before a transfer is finalized (by ActiveRouter.update()). Reduces the number of copies we have left for a message. In binary Spray and Wait, sending host is left with floor(n/2) copies, but in standard mode, nrof copies left is reduced by one.

Overrides:

transferDone in class ActiveRouter

Parameters:

con - The connection whose transfer was finalized

replicate

public SprayAndWaitRouter replicate()

Description copied from class: MessageRouter

Creates a replicate of this router. The replicate has the same settings as this router but empty buffers and routing tables.

Specified by:

replicate in class MessageRouter

Returns:

The replicate
