Interface Summary

NeighborListener

Interface for listening to changes in the immediate neighbors list maintained by the NeighborTable.

Class Summary

AppBooster	Cannot be made public.
Application	Abstract node application.
Assert	Assert-like utility functions including assert(), ensure and require().
ByteArray	Wrapper for an array of Bytes.
Capsule	A capsule is a combination of a packet and its forwarding routine; the forwarding routine is executed at every active node the packet visits in the network.
ConfigurationManager	A configuration manager that creates a node interface, channel and app configuration.
DataCapsule	Data capsule.
DataProtocol	Data protocol definition, a builtin protocol.
DLResponseCapsule	Demand Load Response capsule.
Entity	An Entity is an abstract class from which all Node-resident "things" are subclassed.
Extension	XXX THIS CLASS IS NEVER USED.
NeighborTable	The neighbor table maintains a mapping of logical active network addresses to physical Addresses.
Node	The per-flow Node interface.
NodeAddress	Routines for manipulating node addresses.
NodeCache	Node cache of managed soft-state.
NodeCache.EventHandler	Elements of this type in the node cache will receive calls when one of a set of events occurs.
NodeConfigure	Performs one-time configuration of a Node to get it on its feet.
NodeStat	The NodeStat class is used to store statistics for an entire node.
Protocol	Base class for all protocols.
ProtocolBooster	Must be public as its the entrypoint for a new flow from the Java NodeOS.
ProtocolRegister.Owner	A simple class used to define the owner of a protocol.
RouteTable	The basic ANTS route table.
Trace	Trace class for the various trace macros spread about the ANTS source.
TypeID	Capsule, CapsuleClass, CodeGroup and Protocol identifiers.
Xdr	An Xdr instance encapsulates an external, byte-oriented data structure (an "External Data Representation".) Xdr's can include Strings, byte arrays, booleans, bytes, shorts, ints, longs, TypeIDs.

Exception Summary

AttachException	Thrown if there is a problem attaching an Application, Extension or Channel to the Node.
DuplicateCapsuleClassException	Thrown if a CapsuleClass is registered under an already registered name in a Node.
FullCodeGroupException	Thrown by CodeGroup.add() if the code group is already full.
ResourceLimitException	A runtime exception thrown when a capsule has consumed all of its allocated resource quota.

Error Summary

Assert.AssertFailure	A run-time Error is thrown if an assert fails.
NodeHasNoAddressError	A runtime error thrown when an application or capsule tries to get the address of the node it is executing on, and there is no address yet defined for the node.
NoSuchApplicationError	Thrown by Node when a packet is delivered to a port on which no application is registered.
