public class EmptyFlowHandle

extends FlowHandle

This class completes the abstract implementation of a flow handle by providing a checkBuffer method which always returns true.

The purpose of this class is if packets are to be dispatched to a flow unconditionally. So the "Empty" in the name refers to an empty checkBuffer method.

This flow handle can be named for debugging purposes.
