Detailed Description

This file defines abstract classes for exchanging NameChangeRequests.

These classes are used for sending and receiving requests to update DNS information for FQDNs embodied as NameChangeRequests (aka NCRs). Ultimately, NCRs must move through the following three layers in order to implement DHCP-DDNS:

  • Application layer - the business layer which needs to transport NameChangeRequests, and is unaware of the means by which they are transported.
  • NameChangeRequest layer - This is the layer which acts as the intermediary between the Application layer and the IO layer. It must be able to move NameChangeRequests to the IO layer as raw data and move raw data from the IO layer in the Application layer as NameChangeRequests.
  • IO layer - the low-level layer that is directly responsible for sending and receiving data asynchronously and is supplied through other libraries. This layer is largely unaware of the nature of the data being transmitted. In other words, it doesn't know beans about NCRs.

The abstract classes defined here implement the latter, middle layer, the NameChangeRequest layer. There are two types of participants in this middle ground:

  • listeners - Receive NCRs from one or more sources. The DHCP-DDNS application, (aka D2), is a listener. Listeners are embodied by the class, NameChangeListener.
  • senders - sends NCRs to a given target. DHCP servers are senders. Senders are embodied by the class, NameChangeSender.

These two classes present a public interface for asynchronous communications that is independent of the IO layer mechanisms. While the type and details of the IO mechanism are not relevant to either class, it is presumed to use isc::asiolink library for asynchronous event processing.
