All Known Implementing Classes:

lanLinkLayer, ptpLinkLayer

public interface linkLayer

Link layer interface -- determines link-layer routing semantics for packets written on any attached interface of the associated link.

Method Summary

link	onLink() Return a reference to the link for which this is the linkLayer implementation.
java.util.Enumeration	peers(NIC forNIC) Return the attached interfaces that are peers to the given interface.
com.renesys.raceway.SSF.Event[]	receive(NIC forNIC) Poll the link layer for any packets currently available for receipt
void	transmit(NIC forNIC, PacketEvent pevt, long qdelay) Send a packet with the given delay on behalf of the NIC
void	up(NIC nic) Bring up the given NIC over this link layer
