Value Members

  1. def addressToSocketAddress(addr: Address): Future[InetSocketAddress]
  2. def associate(remoteAddress: Address): Future[AssociationHandle]

    Asynchronously opens a logical duplex link between two Transport Entities over a network.

    Asynchronously opens a logical duplex link between two Transport Entities over a network. It could be backed by a real transport-layer connection (TCP), more lightweight connections provided over datagram protocols (UDP with additional services), substreams of multiplexed connections (SCTP) or physical links (serial port).

    This call returns a future of an akka.remote.transport.AssociationHandle. A failed future indicates that the association attempt was unsuccessful. If the exception is akka.remote.transport.Transport.InvalidAssociationException then the association request was invalid, and it is impossible to recover.

    remoteAddress

    The address of the remote transport entity.

    returns

    A status instance representing failure or a success containing an akka.remote.transport.AssociationHandle

  5. def isResponsibleFor(address: Address): Boolean

    A function that decides whether the specific transport instance is responsible for delivering to a given address.

    A function that decides whether the specific transport instance is responsible for delivering to a given address. The function must be thread-safe and non-blocking.

    The purpose of this function is to resolve cases when the scheme part of an URL is not enough to resolve the correct transport i.e. multiple instances of the same transport implementation are loaded. These cases arise when

    • the same transport, but with different configurations is used for different remote systems
    • a transport is able to serve one address only (hardware protocols, e.g. Serial port) and multiple instances are needed to be loaded for different endpoints.
    returns

    whether the transport instance is responsible to serve communications to the given address.

  6. def listen: Future[(Address, Promise[AssociationEventListener])]

    Asynchronously attempts to setup the transport layer to listen and accept incoming associations.

    Asynchronously attempts to setup the transport layer to listen and accept incoming associations. The result of the attempt is wrapped by a Future returned by this method. The pair contained in the future contains a Promise for an ActorRef. By completing this Promise with an akka.remote.transport.Transport.AssociationEventListener, that listener becomes responsible for handling incoming associations. Until the Promise is not completed, no associations are processed.

    returns

    A Future containing a pair of the bound local address and a Promise of an AssociationListener that must be completed by the consumer of the future.

  7. def managementCommand(cmd: Any): Future[Boolean]

    This method allows upper layers to send management commands to the transport.

    This method allows upper layers to send management commands to the transport. It is the responsibility of the sender to send appropriate commands to different transport implementations. Unknown commands will be ignored.

    cmd

    Command message to the transport

    returns

    Future that succeeds when the command was handled or dropped

    Transport
  8. def maximumPayloadBytes: Int

    Defines the maximum size of payload this transport is able to deliver.

    Defines the maximum size of payload this transport is able to deliver. All transports MUST support at least 32kBytes (32000 octets) of payload, but some MAY support larger sizes.

  9. val schemeIdentifier: String

    Returns a string that will be used as the scheme part of the URLs corresponding to this transport

    Returns a string that will be used as the scheme part of the URLs corresponding to this transport

    returns

    the scheme string

  11. def shutdown(): Future[Boolean]

    Shuts down the transport layer and releases all the corresponding resources.

    Shuts down the transport layer and releases all the corresponding resources. Shutdown is asynchronous signalling the end of the shutdown by completing the returned future.

    The transport SHOULD try flushing pending writes before becoming completely closed.

    returns

    Future signalling the completion of shutdown
