Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ TcpListener()

isc::tcp::TcpListener::TcpListener	(	const asiolink::IOServicePtr &	io_service,
		const asiolink::IOAddress &	server_address,
		const unsigned short	server_port,
		const asiolink::TlsContextPtr &	tls_context,
		const IdleTimeout &	idle_timeout,
		const TcpConnectionFilterCallback &	connection_filter = 0 )

Constructor.

This constructor creates new server endpoint using the specified IP address and port. It also validates other specified parameters.

This constructor does not start accepting new connections! To start accepting connections run TcpListener::start.

Parameters

io_service	IO service to be used by the listener.
server_address	Address on which the TCP service should run.
server_port	Port number on which the TCP service should run.
tls_context	TLS context.
idle_timeout	Timeout after which an idle TCP connection is
connection_filter	Callback invoked during connection acceptance that can allow or deny connections based on the remote endpoint.

Exceptions

TcpListenerError when any of the specified parameters is invalid.

Member Function Documentation

◆ accept()

void isc::tcp::TcpListener::accept ( )

protected

Creates TcpConnection instance and adds it to the pool of active connections.

The next accepted connection will be handled by this instance.

Definition at line 81 of file tcp_listener.cc.

References acceptHandler(), connection_filter_, connections_, createConnection(), and isc::tcp::TcpConnectionPool::start().

Referenced by acceptHandler(), and start().

Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ acceptHandler()

void isc::tcp::TcpListener::acceptHandler ( const boost::system::error_code & ec )

protected

Callback invoked when the new connection is accepted.

It calls TcpListener::accept to create new TcpConnection instance.

Parameters

ec	Error code passed to the handler. This is currently ignored.

Definition at line 92 of file tcp_listener.cc.

Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ createConnection()

TcpConnectionPtr isc::tcp::TcpListener::createConnection	(	const TcpConnectionAcceptorCallback &	acceptor_callback,
		const TcpConnectionFilterCallback &	connection_filter )

protectedvirtual

Creates an instance of the TcpConnection.

This method is virtual so as it can be overridden when customized connections are to be used, e.g. in case of unit testing.

Parameters

acceptor_callback	Callback invoked when new connection is accepted.
connection_filter	Callback invoked during acceptance which may allow of deny connections based on their remote address.

Returns: Pointer to the created connection.

const TCPEndpoint & isc::tcp::TcpListener::getEndpoint ( ) const

Returns reference to the current listener endpoint.

◆ getIdleTimeout()

long isc::tcp::TcpListener::getIdleTimeout ( ) const

inline

Returns the idle timeout (in milliseconds).

◆ getLocalAddress()

IOAddress isc::tcp::TcpListener::getLocalAddress ( ) const

Returns local address on which server is listening.

Definition at line 105 of file tcp_listener.cc.

References getEndpoint().

Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ getLocalPort()

uint16_t isc::tcp::TcpListener::getLocalPort ( ) const

Returns local port on which server is listening.

References getEndpoint().

Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ start()

void isc::tcp::TcpListener::start ( )

Starts accepting new connections.

This method starts accepting and handling new TCP connections on the IP address and port number specified in the constructor.

If the method is invoked successfully, it must not be invoked again until TcpListener::stop is called.

Exceptions

TcpListenerError if an error occurred.

◆ usedByRemoteIp()

size_t isc::tcp::TcpListener::usedByRemoteIp	(	const asiolink::IOAddress &	remote_ip,
		size_t &	total_connections )

inline

Returns the number of connections using a given remote IP address.

Used to limit the number of connections when accepting a new one.

Parameters

	remote_ip	The remote IP address.
[out]	total_connections	Size of the connection pool.

Returns: The number of connections using a given remote IP address.
