Interface EphemeralPortRangeDetector

All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface EphemeralPortRangeDetector

Identifies the ephemeral port range for a given environment. When trying to locate a "random" free port, it is important to not allocate within the ephemeral range, since these can be allocated at any time, and the probability of race conditions increases as the number of recently used ports increases, something which is quite common when running the webdriver tests.

Method Summary

int	getHighestEphemeralPort() Returns the last port that could be searched for free ports
int	getLowestEphemeralPort() Returns the first port in the ephemeral range
