Method Detail

start

public void start()

stop

public void stop()

getInstance

public static RoutingTable getInstance()

retrieve a handle to this routing table

Returns:

instance of this singleton

getNextHopInfo

public RouteInfo getNextHopInfo(long address)

returns an object that describes the route for a given destination

Parameters:

address - for which a route info is wanted

Returns:

routeInfo that has a valid next hop field if there was a route in the table, or a invalid next hop field if there was not

addRoute

public void addRoute(long address,
                     long nextHopMACAddress,
                     int hopCount,
                     int routeCost,
                     int destSeqNumber)

Create a new route entry using the parameters, then call doTableAddition()

Parameters:

address - destination address of route entry

nextHopMACAddress - address of next hop to this address

hopCount - number of hops to destination

routeCost - AODV route cost mechanism

destSeqNumber - AODV sequence number

addRoute

public void addRoute(long senderMACAddress,
                     RREQ message)

Create a new route entry based on a received route request, then call doTableAddition()

Parameters:

senderMACAddress - mac address of the requestor

message - route request message received

addRoute

public void addRoute(long senderMACAddress,
                     RREP message)

Create a new route entry based on a received route reply, then call doTableAddition()

Parameters:

senderMACAddress - sender of the route response

message - route response message received

getDestinationSequenceNumber

public int getDestinationSequenceNumber(long address)

get the destination sequence number for a certain entry

Parameters:

address - address of the entry that we are interested in

Returns:

destinationSequenceNumber

cleanTable

public long cleanTable()

delete all table entries that are expired

Returns:

time until next route expires or 0 if table is empty

freshenRoute

public boolean freshenRoute(long address)

increases the expiry time for a route that is specified by the destination address

Parameters:

address - destination address to be refreshed

Returns:

true when finished

deactivateRoute

public void deactivateRoute(long originator,
                            long destination)

removes a node from the users list of a route and sets the activity flag to false

Parameters:

originator - originator of the route request

destination - destination address of route entry

getAllEntries

public Vector getAllEntries()

This method provides access to the entire routing table. It can be used to monitor the state of the routing table by an application. CAUTION: As this method accesses a syncronized object, it should not be called to often.

Returns:

vector of all routing entries

dumpTable

public void dumpTable()

setOurAddress

public void setOurAddress(long ourAddress)

sets our IEEE Address

Parameters:

ourAddress - our IEEE Address as a long
