Detailed Description

class for listening to incoming network connections.

This class will spawn a Connection for each received network connection.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

NetworkListener::NetworkListener	(	MController *	aController,
		Model *	aModel
	)

Constructor

Parameters

aController	application controller for app state frobnication
aModel	data model reference for data storage
aIpv6	if set to true, this class will listen in Ipv6 instead of v4 and will not enumerate local network interfaces.

void NetworkListener::broadCastReceived ( )

privateslot

virtual void NetworkListener::connectionClosed ( Connection *  aDeletee )

virtual

From ConnectionObserver this is called by peer connection at close

Implements Connection::ConnectionObserver.

virtual void NetworkListener::connectionReady ( Connection *  aBusinessEntity )

virtual

From ConnectionObserver this is called by peer connection at successful open

Implements Connection::ConnectionObserver.

virtual bool NetworkListener::dataReceived ( const QByteArray &  aData, Connection &  aConnection  )

virtual

from ConnectionObserver

Implements Connection::ConnectionObserver.

signal

void NetworkListener::incomingConnection ( int  aSocketDescriptor )

protected

void NetworkListener::nodeConnectionAttemptStatus ( Connection::ConnectionState  aStatus, const Hash  aHashOfAttemptedNode  )

signal

this signal is used to communicate (at least to publishing engine) status of connection attempt to particular node. network connection engine will spawn connections to more-or-less random nodes but publishing logic may ask for connections to specific nodes. this signal will communicate outcome of such requests

bool NetworkListener::startListen

(

bool

aIpv6

)

separate method for starting the listen. this now works with qt4.8 but it seems like semantics of listen may change in qt5, where listening in QHostAddress::Any automatically means both v4 and v6.

Parameters

aIpv6

if true, tries to listen on both IPv6 and ipv4.

Returns

true if listening started.

void NetworkListener::stopAccepting

(

)

used in closing of app: stops accepting connections

void NetworkListener::threadIsDeleted ( )
