public class ProtocolBooster

extends ants.core.Booster

Must be public as its the entrypoint for a new flow from the Java NodeOS.

This is invoked by PrimordialNode as the intial class in a new flow. This new flow is charged with taking the new (unknown protocol) PID, requesting and loading the code associated with that PID and then processing any enqueued packets.

Protocol's have a restricted namespace. See the exportedAntsClasses list in PrimordialNode.

static int	LOCAL_PROTOCOL Indicates a local protocol should be instantiated, the only argument is the name of the protocol class.
static int	NEW_MID Indicates a new MID, arguments are the MID bytes and the previous node that the packet was at.

Field Detail

NEW_MID

public static final int NEW_MID

Indicates a new MID, arguments are the MID bytes and the previous node that the packet was at.

LOCAL_PROTOCOL

public static final int LOCAL_PROTOCOL

Indicates a local protocol should be instantiated, the only argument is the name of the protocol class. Once this executes the protocol message handler thread is basically useless since the whole protocol is active.

APP_CAPSULE

public static final int APP_CAPSULE

Indicates an application capsule is queued up. Application capsules are queued here if they arrive before a new protocol is completely set up.
