Interface SctpChannel

All Superinterfaces:

io.netty.util.AttributeMap, io.netty.channel.Channel, io.netty.channel.ChannelOutboundInvoker, Comparable<io.netty.channel.Channel>

All Known Implementing Classes:

NioSctpChannel, OioSctpChannel

public interface SctpChannel
extends io.netty.channel.Channel

A SCTP/IP Channel interface for single SCTP association.

The SctpChannel is a message-oriented, connected transport which supports multi-streaming and multi-homing.

Method Detail

parent

SctpServerChannel parent()

Specified by:

parent in interface io.netty.channel.Channel

association

Association association()

Returns the underlying SCTP association.

localAddress

InetSocketAddress localAddress()

Return the (primary) local address of the SCTP channel. Please note that, this return the first local address in the underlying SCTP Channel's local address iterator to support Netty Channel API. In other words, its the application's responsibility to keep track of it's local primary address. (To set a local address as primary, the application can request by calling local SCTP stack, with SctpStandardSocketOption.SCTP_PRIMARY_ADDR option).

Specified by:

localAddress in interface io.netty.channel.Channel

allLocalAddresses

Set<InetSocketAddress> allLocalAddresses()

Return all local addresses of the SCTP channel. Please note that, it will return more than one address if this channel is using multi-homing

config

SctpChannelConfig config()

Returns the SctpChannelConfig configuration of the channel.

Specified by:

config in interface io.netty.channel.Channel

remoteAddress

InetSocketAddress remoteAddress()

Return the (primary) remote address of the SCTP channel. Please note that, this return the first remote address in the underlying SCTP Channel's remote address iterator to support Netty Channel API. In other words, its the application's responsibility to keep track of it's peer's primary address. (The application can request it's remote peer to set a specific address as primary by calling the local SCTP stack with SctpStandardSocketOption.SCTP_SET_PEER_PRIMARY_ADDR option)

Specified by:

remoteAddress in interface io.netty.channel.Channel

allRemoteAddresses

Set<InetSocketAddress> allRemoteAddresses()

Return all remote addresses of the SCTP server channel. Please note that, it will return more than one address if the remote is using multi-homing.

bindAddress

io.netty.channel.ChannelFuture bindAddress(InetAddress localAddress)

Bind a address to the already bound channel to enable multi-homing. The Channel bust be bound and yet to be connected.

bindAddress

io.netty.channel.ChannelFuture bindAddress(InetAddress localAddress,
                                           io.netty.channel.ChannelPromise promise)

Bind a address to the already bound channel to enable multi-homing. The Channel bust be bound and yet to be connected. Will notify the given ChannelPromise and return a ChannelFuture

unbindAddress

io.netty.channel.ChannelFuture unbindAddress(InetAddress localAddress)

Unbind the address from channel's multi-homing address list. The address should be added already in multi-homing address list.

unbindAddress

io.netty.channel.ChannelFuture unbindAddress(InetAddress localAddress,
                                             io.netty.channel.ChannelPromise promise)

Unbind the address from channel's multi-homing address list. The address should be added already in multi-homing address list. Will notify the given ChannelPromise and return a ChannelFuture
