public abstract class Channel extends Object
Receiver
in setReceiver(Receiver)
and implementing the
MessageListener.receive(Message)
callback.
A channel instance is created using the public constructor.
Various degrees of sophistication in message exchange can be achieved using building blocks on top of channels; e.g., light-weight groups, synchronous message invocation, or remote method calls. Channels are on the same abstraction level as sockets, and should really be simple to use. Higher-level abstractions are all built on top of channels.DatagramPacket

public abstract void connect(String cluster_name) throws Exception
All channels with the same name form a group, that means all messages sent to the group will be received by all channels connected to the same cluster name.

If FLUSH protocol is in channel's stack definition only one flush is executed for both connecting and
fetching state rather than two flushes if we invoke connect and getState in succession.
If the channel is closed an exception will be thrown.

public abstract void getState(Address target, long timeout) throws Exception
State transfer is initiated by invoking getState on this channel. The state provider in turn
invokes MessageListener.getState(java.io.OutputStream)
callback and sends a state to
this node, the state receiver. After the state arrives to the state receiver
MessageListener.setState(java.io.InputStream)
callback is invoked to install the
state.
