Detailed Description

Network interface monitor.

Maintains an up-to-date view of every system network interface and notifies when an interface is added or removed.

Note
The implementation of this class is highly platform dependent, and not all platform backends provide all the features. On macOS, SystemConfiguration and CFNotificationCenterAddObserver are used (notification of MTU change is not supported). On Linux, netlink notifications from the kernel are used. See getCapabilities() for the detailed set of capabilities supported by the platform backend currently in use.

Member Function Documentation

◆ getCapabilities()

uint32_t ndn::net::NetworkMonitor::getCapabilities ( ) const

Returns a bitwise OR'ed set of Capability flags supported on the current platform.

Definition at line 73 of file network-monitor.cpp.

◆ getNetworkInterface()

shared_ptr< const NetworkInterface > ndn::net::NetworkMonitor::getNetworkInterface ( const std::string &  ifname) const

Returns the NetworkInterface with the given name, or nullptr if it does not exist.

Definition at line 79 of file network-monitor.cpp.

◆ listNetworkInterfaces()

std::vector< shared_ptr< const NetworkInterface > > ndn::net::NetworkMonitor::listNetworkInterfaces ( ) const

Lists all network interfaces currently available on the system.

Warning
May return incomplete results if called before the onEnumerationCompleted signal has been emitted.

Member Data Documentation

◆ onEnumerationCompleted

util::Signal<NetworkMonitorImpl>& ndn::net::NetworkMonitor::onEnumerationCompleted

Fires when the enumeration of all network interfaces on the system is complete.

Definition at line 115 of file network-monitor.hpp.

◆ onInterfaceAdded

util::Signal<NetworkMonitorImpl, shared_ptr<const NetworkInterface> >& ndn::net::NetworkMonitor::onInterfaceAdded

Fires whenever a new interface is detected on the system.

Definition at line 118 of file network-monitor.hpp.

◆ onInterfaceRemoved

util::Signal<NetworkMonitorImpl, shared_ptr<const NetworkInterface> >& ndn::net::NetworkMonitor::onInterfaceRemoved

Fires whenever an interface disappears from the system.

Note
The NetworkInterface object has already been removed from the list returned by listNetworkInterfaces() when this signal is emitted.

Definition at line 125 of file network-monitor.hpp.

◆ onNetworkStateChanged

util::Signal<NetworkMonitorImpl>& ndn::net::NetworkMonitor::onNetworkStateChanged
Deprecated:
Only for backward compatibility
