Detailed Description

Represents a single TCP or UDP socket for input or output.

Definition at line 29 of file connection.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Connection()

Connection::Connection ( ConnectionManager manager,
Socket_IP socket 
)
explicit

Creates a connection.

Normally this constructor should not be used directly by user code; use one of the methods in ConnectionManager to make a new connection.

Definition at line 36 of file connection.cxx.

◆ ~Connection()

Connection::~Connection ( )

Closes a connection.

Definition at line 59 of file connection.cxx.

References Socket_IP::Close(), and flush().

Member Function Documentation

◆ consider_flush()

bool Connection::consider_flush ( )

Sends the most recently queued TCP datagram(s) if enough time has elapsed.

This only has meaning if set_collect_tcp() has been set to true.

Definition at line 149 of file connection.cxx.

References TrueClock::get_global_ptr().

◆ flush()

bool Connection::flush ( void  )

Sends the most recently queued TCP datagram(s) now.

This only has meaning if set_collect_tcp() has been set to true.

Definition at line 173 of file connection.cxx.

Referenced by ~Connection().

◆ get_address()

NetAddress Connection::get_address ( ) const

Returns the address bound to this connection, if it is a TCP connection.

Definition at line 75 of file connection.cxx.

References Socket_IP::GetPeerName().

◆ get_collect_tcp()

bool Connection::get_collect_tcp ( ) const

Returns the current setting of "collect-tcp" mode.

See set_collect_tcp().

Definition at line 120 of file connection.cxx.

◆ get_collect_tcp_interval()

double Connection::get_collect_tcp_interval ( ) const

Returns the interval in time, in seconds, for which to hold TCP packets before sending all of the recently received packets at once.

This only has meaning if "collect-tcp" mode is enabled; see set_collect_tcp().

Definition at line 140 of file connection.cxx.

◆ get_manager()

ConnectionManager * Connection::get_manager ( ) const

Returns a pointer to the ConnectionManager object that serves this connection.

Definition at line 85 of file connection.cxx.

◆ get_socket()

Socket_IP * Connection::get_socket ( ) const

Returns the internal Socket_IP that defines the connection.

Definition at line 93 of file connection.cxx.

◆ set_collect_tcp()

void Connection::set_collect_tcp ( bool  collect_tcp)

Enables or disables "collect-tcp" mode.

In this mode, individual TCP packets are not sent immediately, but rather they are collected together and accumulated to be sent periodically as one larger TCP packet. This cuts down on overhead from the TCP/IP protocol, especially if many small packets need to be sent on the same connection, but it introduces additional latency (since packets must be held before they can be sent).

See set_collect_tcp_interval() to specify the interval of time for which to hold packets before sending them.

If you enable this mode, you may also need to periodically call consider_flush() to flush the queue if no packets have been sent recently.

Definition at line 112 of file connection.cxx.

◆ set_collect_tcp_interval()

void Connection::set_collect_tcp_interval ( double  interval)

Specifies the interval in time, in seconds, for which to hold TCP packets before sending all of the recently received packets at once.

This only has meaning if "collect-tcp" mode is enabled; see set_collect_tcp().

Definition at line 130 of file connection.cxx.

◆ set_ip_time_to_live()

void Connection::set_ip_time_to_live ( int  ttl)

Sets IP time-to-live.

Definition at line 257 of file connection.cxx.

◆ set_ip_type_of_service()

void Connection::set_ip_type_of_service ( int  tos)

Sets IP type-of-service and precedence.

Definition at line 265 of file connection.cxx.

◆ set_keep_alive()

void Connection::set_keep_alive ( bool  flag)

Sets whether the connection is periodically tested to see if it is still alive.

Definition at line 230 of file connection.cxx.

◆ set_linger()

void Connection::set_linger ( bool  flag,
double  time 
)

Sets whether nonblocking I/O should be in effect.

Sets the time to linger on close if data is present. If flag is false, when you close a socket with data available the system attempts to deliver the data to the peer (the default behavior). If flag is false but time is zero, the system discards any undelivered data when you close the socket. If flag is false but time is nonzero, the system waits up to time seconds to deliver the data.

Definition at line 206 of file connection.cxx.

◆ set_max_segment()

void Connection::set_max_segment ( int  size)

Sets the maximum segment size.

Definition at line 285 of file connection.cxx.

◆ set_no_delay()

void Connection::set_no_delay ( bool  flag)

If flag is true, this disables the Nagle algorithm, and prevents delaying of send to coalesce packets.

Definition at line 274 of file connection.cxx.

◆ set_recv_buffer_size()

void Connection::set_recv_buffer_size ( int  size)

Sets the size of the receive buffer, in bytes.

Definition at line 238 of file connection.cxx.

References Socket_IP::SetRecvBufferSize().

◆ set_reuse_addr()

void Connection::set_reuse_addr ( bool  flag)

Sets whether local address reuse is allowed.

Definition at line 221 of file connection.cxx.

References Socket_IP::SetReuseAddress().

◆ set_send_buffer_size()

void Connection::set_send_buffer_size ( int  size)

Sets the size of the send buffer, in bytes.

Definition at line 246 of file connection.cxx.
