Package org.jgroups.protocols
Class FC
java.lang.Object
org.jgroups.stack.Protocol
org.jgroups.protocols.FC
Simple flow control protocol based on a credit system. Each sender has a number of credits (bytes
to send). When the credits have been exhausted, the sender blocks. Each receiver also keeps track of
how many credits it has received from a sender. When credits for a sender fall below a threshold,
the receiver sends more credits to the sender. Works for both unicast and multicast messages.
Note that this protocol must be located towards the top of the stack, or all down_threads from JChannel to this
protocol must be set to false ! This is in order to block JChannel.send()/JChannel.down().
This is the second simplified implementation of the same model. The algorithm is sketched out in doc/FlowControl.txt

This is the second simplified implementation of the same model. The algorithm is sketched out in doc/FlowControl.txt
Changes (Brian) April 2006:
- Receivers now send credits to a sender when more than min_credits have been received (rather than when min_credits are left)
- Receivers don't send the full credits (max_credits), but rather tha actual number of bytes received

setProperties
Description copied from class:Protocol
Configures the protocol initially. A configuration string consists of name=value items, separated by a ';' (semicolon), e.g.:"loopback=false;unicast_inport=4444"
- Overrides:
setProperties
in classProtocol
-
start
Description copied from class:Protocol
This method is called on aChannel.connect(String)
. Starts work. Protocols are connected and queues are ready to receive events. Will be called from bottom to top. This call will replace the START and START_OK events.- Overrides:
start
in classProtocol
- Throws:
Exception
- Thrown if protocol cannot be started successfully. This will cause the ProtocolStack to fail, soChannel.connect(String)
will throw an exception
-
stop
public void stop()Description copied from class:Protocol
This method is called on aChannel.disconnect()
. Stops work (e.g. by closing multicast socket). Will be called from top to bottom. This means that at the time of the method invocation the neighbor protocol below is still working. This method will replace the STOP, STOP_OK, CLEANUP and CLEANUP_OK events. The ProtocolStack guarantees that when this method is called all messages in the down queue will have been flushed -
down
Description copied from class:Protocol
An event is to be sent down the stack. The layer may want to examine its type and perform some action on it, depending on the event's type. If the event is a message MSG, then the layer may need to add a header to it (or do nothing at all) before sending it down the stack usingdown_prot.down()
. In case of a GET_ADDRESS event (which tries to retrieve the stack's address from one of the bottom layers), the layer may need to send a new response event back up the stack usingup_prot.up()
. -
up
Description copied from class:Protocol
An event was received from the layer below. Usually the current layer will want to examine the event type and - depending on its type - perform some computation (e.g. removing headers from a MSG event type, or updating the internal membership list when receiving a VIEW_CHANGE event). Finally the event is either a) discarded, or b) an event is sent down the stack usingdown_prot.down()
or c) the event (or another event) is sent up the stack usingup_prot.up()
.
