Detailed Description

Class that will initiate 1 or more network connections.

This may be notified about situation where network connection might be in order.

This will also initiate first connection to seed node, notifying controller if failed.

Member Function Documentation

blackListNetworkAddr

void NetworkConnectorEngine::blackListNetworkAddr ( QHostAddress  aAddr )

slot

createConnectionsToNodesStoringPrivateMessages()

void NetworkConnectorEngine::createConnectionsToNodesStoringPrivateMessages ( )

private

method for creating connections to nodes that are supposed to store private messages destined to profiles whose private keys we have in this node. This is supposed to work in conjunction with ::fillBucket() that it will then, in turn, send requests to said nodes about private messages that we're supposed to receive.

error

void NetworkConnectorEngine::error ( QTcpSocket::SocketError  socketError )

signal

nodeConnectionAttemptStatus

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

slot

performDNSLookup()

bool NetworkConnectorEngine::performDNSLookup ( QHostAddress *  aAddressToBeSet, const QString &  aFromDnsName, bool  aDoWeHaveIpv6  )

private

pruneConnectionProspectList()

bool NetworkConnectorEngine::pruneConnectionProspectList ( QList< Node *> *  aListToPrune ) const

private

prune from list self and nodes already connected.

Parameters

aListToPrune

is list of nodes that check

Returns

this will return true if there were at least one node that was already connected

run()

void NetworkConnectorEngine::run

(

)

this class is a thread, thus run.

this method has its own execution context so it won't hurt the UI or the incoming connections.

this will ask datamodel for nodes to connect and try to arrange connections to given nodes, some will succeed and some then will be less successful.

sendBroadCast()

void NetworkConnectorEngine::sendBroadCast ( )

private

method for sending advertisement about node in ip protocl broadcast packet

sendPrivateMessagesPoll()

void NetworkConnectorEngine::sendPrivateMessagesPoll ( const Hash &  aNodeFingerPrint )

private

Sends query (poll) about private messages to given node. Node must be connected. This method polls not only private messages but also profile comments - reason for this is simple: they have the same bucket so as we're already making commections to nodes storing private messaeges we'll find the comments from same bucket.

Naturally this only helps the profile operator as he'll this way find his own comments ; for the rest of the comment-reading crowd a separate mechanism needs to be in place.

spawnNewConnection()

void NetworkConnectorEngine::spawnNewConnection ( const QHostAddress &  aAddr, const int  aPort, const Hash &  aHashOfNodeToConnect  )

private

internal method for starting a new connection

threadIsDeleted

void NetworkConnectorEngine::threadIsDeleted ( )

slot

tryServeWishListItem()

bool NetworkConnectorEngine::tryServeWishListItem ( )

private

Method for checking if there is anything in datamodels connection wishlist

updateListOfNodesToConnect()

void NetworkConnectorEngine::updateListOfNodesToConnect ( )

private

method for updating list of nodes to connect

Member Data Documentation

iAddressBlacklist

QList<QHostAddress> NetworkConnectorEngine::iAddressBlacklist

private

Addresses that we're supposed to not connect. This easily gets at least addresses of self in a box that has multiple network addresses (or multiple temporary ipv6 addresses)

iAddressesInOrderToConnect

QList<MNodeModelProtocolInterface::HostConnectQueueItem> NetworkConnectorEngine::iAddressesInOrderToConnect

private

iBroadCastSocket

QUdpSocket* NetworkConnectorEngine::iBroadCastSocket

private

iConnectionObserver

Connection::ConnectionObserver& NetworkConnectorEngine::iConnectionObserver

private

iController

Controller* NetworkConnectorEngine::iController

private

iModel

Model* NetworkConnectorEngine::iModel

private

iNeedsToRun

bool NetworkConnectorEngine::iNeedsToRun

iPrivateMessagePollWishList

QList<Hash> NetworkConnectorEngine::iPrivateMessagePollWishList

private

iProfileToPollPrivateMessages

Hash NetworkConnectorEngine::iProfileToPollPrivateMessages

private

iTimeOfLastBroadCast

time_t NetworkConnectorEngine::iTimeOfLastBroadCast

private

iTimeOfLastMsgPoll

time_t NetworkConnectorEngine::iTimeOfLastMsgPoll

private

this is time when private messages were last polled for any profile ; this is used for sequencing the polls so that each profile gets decent and fair polling periods

iTimeOfLastMsgPollForProfile

quint32 NetworkConnectorEngine::iTimeOfLastMsgPollForProfile

private

this is timestamp of last message poll for individual profile ; this is sent to remote nodes and the nodes are asked to send messages that they've received after the timestamp presented here
