Class RATE_LIMITER

java.lang.Object

org.jgroups.stack.Protocol

org.jgroups.protocols.RATE_LIMITER

public class RATE_LIMITER
extends Protocol

Protocol which sends at most max_bytes in time_period milliseconds. Can be used instead of a flow control protocol, e.g. FC or SFC (same position in the stack)

Method Detail

down

public Object down(Event evt)

Description copied from class: Protocol

An event is to be sent down the stack. The layer may want to examine its type and perform some action on it, depending on the event's type. If the event is a message MSG, then the layer may need to add a header to it (or do nothing at all) before sending it down the stack using down_prot.down(). In case of a GET_ADDRESS event (which tries to retrieve the stack's address from one of the bottom layers), the layer may need to send a new response event back up the stack using up_prot.up().

Overrides:

down in class Protocol

init

public void init()
          throws Exception

Description copied from class: Protocol

Called after instance has been created (null constructor) and before protocol is started. Properties are already set. Other protocols are not yet connected and events cannot yet be sent.

Overrides:

init in class Protocol

Throws:

Exception - Thrown if protocol cannot be initialized successfully. This will cause the ProtocolStack to fail, so the channel constructor will throw an exception

stop

public void stop()

Description copied from class: Protocol

This method is called on a Channel.disconnect(). Stops work (e.g. by closing multicast socket). Will be called from top to bottom. This means that at the time of the method invocation the neighbor protocol below is still working. This method will replace the STOP, STOP_OK, CLEANUP and CLEANUP_OK events. The ProtocolStack guarantees that when this method is called all messages in the down queue will have been flushed

Overrides:

stop in class Protocol

reset

protected void reset()
