Class DELAY

java.lang.Object
  org.jgroups.stack.Protocol
      org.jgroups.protocols.DELAY

public class DELAY
extends Protocol

Delays incoming/outgoing messages by a random number of milliseconds (range between 0 and n where n is determined by the user). Incoming messages can be delayed independently from outgoing messages (or not delayed at all).

This protocol should be inserted directly above the bottommost protocol (e.g. UDP).

up

public java.lang.Object up(Event evt)

Description copied from class: Protocol

An event was received from the layer below. Usually the current layer will want to examine the event type and - depending on its type - perform some computation (e.g. removing headers from a MSG event type, or updating the internal membership list when receiving a VIEW_CHANGE event). Finally the event is either a) discarded, or b) an event is sent down the stack using down_prot.down() or c) the event (or another event) is sent up the stack using up_prot.up().

Overrides:

down

public java.lang.Object down(Event evt)

Description copied from class: Protocol

An event is to be sent down the stack. The layer may want to examine its type and perform some action on it, depending on the event's type. If the event is a message MSG, then the layer may need to add a header to it (or do nothing at all) before sending it down the stack using down_prot.down(). In case of a GET_ADDRESS event (which tries to retrieve the stack's address from one of the bottom layers), the layer may need to send a new response event back up the stack using up_prot.up().

Overrides:
