The ANTSR DynamicRouteTable contains all of the state and code for maintaining a dynamic routing table. This includes sending out periodic updates, sending out immediate updates, (and receiving both). GC'ing stale routes, etc.

I think there are some problems in here for a node that has more than one physical address. It will probably send the wrong info out to the other nodes...

Based very strongly on the dynamic route table from the original MIT ANTS. I renamed and moved a lot of things around, but I (hopefully) didn't change the update algorithm.

XXX access control issues.

Fields

· INFINITY

Summary  |  Top

   public static final int INFINITY

Maximum cost of travelling to a node. Dunno why 16 is a good number.

   private final Hashtable gcPool

GC pool; unavailable for retrieving routes from.

DynamicRouteEntries are added to the GC pool when they "expire". Later, they will be deleted from the GC pool, for good. DynamicRouteEntries might get "resuscitated" from the pool.

Maps Integer() wrapped destintion addresses to RouteEntries. XXX this is actually another RouteTable instance...

   private final Hashtable gateways

Gateways: hardwired connections to other networks. This map contains *only* the hardwired gateways. Nodes which are one hop away which are learned at run-time are not included in this map. XXX I think that is a bug.

Maps Integer() wrapped destintion addresses to DynamicRouteEntries. XXX this is actually another RouteTable instance...

Only really used in the sendRouteMessages() function.

Retrive the current route to get to the given active address.

Overrides:

getRoute in class WriteableRouteTable

Implements:

getRoute in interface RouteTable

   public void removeRoute(RouteEntry r) 

Remove a route from the table.

Overrides:

removeRoute in class WriteableRouteTable

   public void addRoute(int activeDest, 
                        int activeNext, 
                        String physNext)  throws NoSuchNodeAddress, AddressFormatException

XXX this is only invoked by RouteTableReader. Don't call internally...

Overrides:
