Class LocalNetworkDiscovery

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    io.netty.channel.ChannelHandler, io.netty.channel.ChannelInboundHandler, io.netty.channel.ChannelOutboundHandler

    public class LocalNetworkDiscovery
    extends io.netty.channel.ChannelDuplexHandler
    This handler, along with the UdpMulticastServer or UdpBroadcastServer, is used to discover other nodes on the local network via IP multicast or broadcast.

    For this purpose, the above-mentioned server forwards received multicast/broadcast HelloMessages to this handler, which thus becomes aware of other nodes in the local network. In case no HelloMessage has been received for a longer period of time, the other node is considered stale.

    In addition, this handler periodically sends a HelloMessage messages to a given multicast/broadcast address so that other nodes become aware of this node.
