Interface OvsdbConnection

All Known Implementing Classes:

OvsdbConnectionService

public interface OvsdbConnection

OvsDBConnection Interface provides OVSDB connection management APIs which includes both Active and Passive connections. From the Library perspective, Active OVSDB connections are those that are initiated from the Controller towards the ovsdb-manager. While Passive OVSDB connections are those that are initiated from the ovs towards the controller.

Applications that use OvsDBConnectionService can use the connect APIs to initiate Active connections and can listen to the asynchronous Passive connections via registerConnectionListener listener API.

void	disconnect(OvsdbClient client) Method to disconnect an existing connection.
OvsdbClient	getClient(io.netty.channel.Channel channel)
Collection<OvsdbClient>	getConnections() Returns a Collection of all the active OVSDB Connections.
void	registerConnectionListener(OvsdbConnectionListener listener) Method to register a Passive Connection Listener with the ConnectionService.
boolean	startOvsdbManager(int ovsdbListenPort) Method to start ovsdb server for passive connection.
boolean	startOvsdbManagerWithSsl(int ovsdbListenPort, SSLContext sslContext) Method to start ovsdb server for passive connection with SSL.
void	unregisterConnectionListener(OvsdbConnectionListener listener) Method to unregister a Passive Connection Listener with the ConnectionService.

Method Detail

connect

OvsdbClient connect(InetAddress address,
                  int port)

connect API can be used by the applications to initiate Active connection from the controller towards ovsdb-server.

Parameters:

address - IP Address of the remote server that hosts the ovsdb server.

port - Layer 4 port on which the remote ovsdb server is listening on.

Returns:

OvsDBClient The primary Client interface for the ovsdb connection.

connectWithSsl

OvsdbClient connectWithSsl(InetAddress address,
                         int port,
                         SSLContext sslContext)

connect API can be used by the applications to initiate Active ssl connection from the controller towards ovsdb-server.

Parameters:

address - IP Address of the remote server that hosts the ovsdb server.

port - Layer 4 port on which the remote ovsdb server is listening on.

sslContext - Netty sslContext for channel configuration

Returns:

OvsDBClient The primary Client interface for the ovsdb connection.

disconnect

Method to start ovsdb server for passive connection with SSL.

registerConnectionListener

void registerConnectionListener(OvsdbConnectionListener listener)

Method to register a Passive Connection Listener with the ConnectionService.

Parameters:

listener - Passive Connection listener interested in Passive OVSDB connection requests.

unregisterConnectionListener

void unregisterConnectionListener(OvsdbConnectionListener listener)

Method to unregister a Passive Connection Listener with the ConnectionService.
