public class DELAY

extends Protocol

Delays incoming/outgoing messages by a random number of milliseconds (range between 0 and n where n is determined by the user). Incoming messages can be delayed independently from outgoing messages (or not delayed at all).

This protocol should be inserted directly above the bottommost protocol (e.g. UDP).

Method Detail

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

All protocol names have to be unique !

Specified by:

getName in class Protocol

setProperties

public boolean setProperties(java.util.Properties props)

Description copied from class: Protocol

Configures the protocol initially. A configuration string consists of name=value items, separated by a ';' (semicolon), e.g.:

 "loopback=false;unicast_inport=4444"
 

Overrides:

setProperties in class Protocol

up

public void up(Event evt)

Description copied from class: Protocol

An event was received from the layer below. Usually the current layer will want to examine the event type and - depending on its type - perform some computation (e.g. removing headers from a MSG event type, or updating the internal membership list when receiving a VIEW_CHANGE event). Finally the event is either a) discarded, or b) an event is sent down the stack using passDown() or c) the event (or another event) is sent up the stack using passUp().

Overrides:

up in class Protocol

down

public void 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 passDown(). 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 passUp().

Overrides:

down in class Protocol
