Class Association

java.lang.Object

com.sun.nio.sctp.Association

public class Association
extends Object

A class that represents an SCTP association.

An association exists between two SCTP endpoints. Each endpoint is represented by a list of transport addresses through which that endpoint can be reached and from which it will originate SCTP messages. The association spans over all of the possible source/destination combinations which may be generated from each endpoint's lists of addresses.

Associations are identified by their Association ID. Association ID's are guaranteed to be unique for the lifetime of the association. An association ID may be reused after the association has been shutdown. An association ID is not unique across multiple SCTP channels. An Association's local and remote addresses may change if the SCTP implementation supports Dynamic Address Reconfiguration as defined by RFC5061, see the bindAddress and unbindAddress methods of SctpChannel, SctpServerChannel, and SctpMultiChannel.

An Association is returned from an SctpChannel or an SctpMultiChannel, as well as being given as a parameter to NotificationHandler methods.

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
protected Object	clone()	Answers a new instance of the same class as the receiver, whose slots have been filled in with the values in the slots of the receiver.
boolean	equals(Object o)	Compares the argument to the receiver, and answers true if they represent the same object using a class specific comparison.
protected void	finalize()	Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version. May cause performance issues, deadlocks and hangs.
final Class<? extends Object>	getClass()	Answers the unique instance of java.lang.Class which represents the class of the receiver.
int	hashCode()	Answers an integer hash code for the receiver.
final void	notify()	Causes one thread which is waiting on the receiver to be made ready to run.
final void	notifyAll()	Causes all threads which are waiting on the receiver to be made ready to run.
String	toString()	Answers a string containing a concise, human-readable description of the receiver.
final void	wait()	Causes the thread which sent this message to be made not ready to run pending some change in the receiver (as indicated by notify or notifyAll).
final void	wait(long time)	Causes the thread which sent this message to be made not ready to run either pending some change in the receiver (as indicated by notify or notifyAll) or the expiration of the timeout.
final void	wait(long time, int frac)	Causes the thread which sent this message to be made not ready to run either pending some change in the receiver (as indicated by notify or notifyAll) or the expiration of the timeout.

Association

protected Association(int associationID,
 int maxInStreams,
 int maxOutStreams)

Initializes a new instance of this class.

Parameters:

associationID - The association ID

Returns:

The association ID

maxInboundStreams

public final int maxInboundStreams()

Returns the maximum number of inbound streams that this association supports.

Data received on this association will be on stream number s, where 0 <= s < maxInboundStreams().

Returns:

The maximum number of inbound streams

maxOutboundStreams

public final int maxOutboundStreams()

Returns the maximum number of outbound streams that this association supports.

Data sent on this association must be on stream number s, where 0 <= s < maxOutboundStreams().

Returns:

The maximum number of outbound streams
