Package org.bitcoinj.net

Classes handling low level network management using either NIO (async io) or older style blocking sockets (useful for using SOCKS proxies, Tor, SSL etc).

Interface Summary

Interface	Description
ClientConnectionManager	A generic interface for an object which keeps track of a set of open client connections, creates new ones and ensures they are serviced properly.
MessageWriteTarget	A target to which messages can be written/connection can be closed
StreamConnection	A generic handler which is used in NioServer, NioClient and BlockingClient to handle incoming data streams.
StreamConnectionFactory	A factory which generates new StreamConnections when a new connection is opened.

Class Summary

Class	Description
AbstractTimeoutHandler	A base class which provides basic support for socket timeouts.
BlockingClient	Creates a simple connection to a server using a StreamConnection to process data.
BlockingClientManager	A thin wrapper around a set of BlockingClients.
FilterMerger	A reusable object that will calculate, given a list of PeerFilterProviders, a merged BloomFilter and earliest key time for all of them.
FilterMerger.Result
NioClient	Creates a simple connection to a server using a StreamConnection to process data.
NioClientManager	A class which manages a set of client connections.
NioServer	Creates a simple server listener which listens for incoming client connections and uses a StreamConnection to process data.

Package org.bitcoinj.net Description

Classes handling low level network management using either NIO (async io) or older style blocking sockets (useful for using SOCKS proxies, Tor, SSL etc). The code in this package implements a simple network abstraction a little like what the Netty library provides, but with only what bitcoinj needs.
