Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual olsr::msg::Message::~Message

(

)

[inline, virtual]

The message destructor.

Member Function Documentation

virtual bool olsr::msg::Message::dump	(	utl::Data &	,
		const address_t &
	)			const [pure virtual]

The virtual dump method, forwarded to the actual message dump method.

Implemented in olsr::msg::HELLOMessage, olsr::msg::HNAMessage, olsr::msg::UnknownMessage, olsr::msg::MIDMessage, and olsr::msg::TCMessage.

virtual void olsr::msg::Message::inc_seqnum

(

)

[inline, virtual]

The sequence number incrementing method.

This is used for the case when a message is split in two separate messages. The second message's sequence number then needs to be incremented. FIXME: I don't see why this should be a virtual method right now...

Reimplemented in olsr::msg::UnknownMessage.

void olsr::msg::Message::parse	(	utl::Data	d,
		const address_t &	sender,
		const address_t &	receiver,
		const seqnum_t &	pseqnum
	)			[inline, static]

The parsing routine.

• d Data buffer to parse
• sender Address of sending interface
• receiver Address of receiving interface
• pseqnum Packet sequence number

This is the general message parser, that further dispatches to specific message parsers if the message's type is known.

void olsr::msg::Message::forward	(	utl::Data &	d,
		const header &	mh
	)			[inline, static]

The forwarding routine

• d Data of the message to forward
• mh message header

This does forwarding for the message. Actual forwarders for any known message are called.

Member Data Documentation

const ::size_t olsr::msg::Message::min_length = sizeof (raw) [static]

Minimum length of a message.

Reimplemented in olsr::msg::HELLOMessage, olsr::msg::HNAMessage, olsr::msg::MIDMessage, and olsr::msg::TCMessage.

utl::Seqnum<u_int16_t> olsr::msg::Message::seqnum [static, protected]

The message sequence number.
