public abstract class Timer

extends Timer

This class is just an intermediate class between SSF.OS.Timer and the more specific BGP timers (SSF.OS.BGP4.EventTimer, SSF.OS.BGP4.MRAITimer) so that generic methods for setting the time at which the timer was set can be included.

Field Summary

static int	CONNRETRY Indicates the Connect Retry Timer.
static int	HOLD Indicates the Hold Timer.
boolean	is_expired Whether or not the timer is expired.
static int	KEEPALIVE Indicates the Keep Alive Timer.
static int	MASO Indicates the Minimum AS Origination Timer.
static int	MRAI Indicates the Minimum Route Advertisement Interval Timer.

Constructor Summary

Timer(ProtocolGraph pg, long dt)
Initialize the timer data.

Method Summary

abstract void	callback() An abstract version of the method that is called when the timer expires.
void	canc() Cancel the timer.
boolean	is_expired() Returns whether or not the timer is expired (also returns true if the timer is not currently set)
void	set_at(long set_time) Since it's not done automatically by the timers, this method sets the time at which the timer was set.
void	set_expiry(boolean b) Assign a value for whether or not the timer is expired.
long	when_set() Returns the time at which the timer was set.

is_expired

public boolean is_expired

Whether or not the timer is expired. It is also true if timer is not set. It is the opposite of whether or not the timer is ticking. That is, if the timer is not expired, then it is ticking.

Constructor Detail

Timer

public Timer(ProtocolGraph pg,
             long dt)

Initialize the timer data.

Parameters:

pg - The protocol graph in which the associated BGP session resides.

dt - The length of time (in ticks) that the timer is set for.

Method Detail

callback

public abstract void callback()

An abstract version of the method that is called when the timer expires.

Specified by:

callback in class Timer

when_set

public long when_set()

Returns the time at which the timer was set.

Returns:

the time (in ticks) when the timer was set

set_at

public void set_at(long set_time)

Since it's not done automatically by the timers, this method sets the time at which the timer was set.

Parameters:

set_time - The time (in ticks) at which the timer was set.

is_expired

public boolean is_expired()

Returns whether or not the timer is expired (also returns true if the timer is not currently set)

Returns:

whether or not the timer has expired

set_expiry

public void set_expiry(boolean b)

Assign a value for whether or not the timer is expired. This method is available since a timer does not automatically change the value to false when set is called.

Parameters:

b - Whether or not the timer has expired.

canc

public void canc()

Cancel the timer.
