Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Dispatcher()

ndn::mgmt::Dispatcher::Dispatcher	(	Face &	face,
		KeyChain &	keyChain,
		const security::SigningInfo &	signingInfo = security::SigningInfo(),
		size_t	imsCapacity = 256
	)

constructor

Parameters

face	the Face on which the dispatcher operates
keyChain	a KeyChain to sign Data
signingInfo	signing parameters to sign Data with keyChain
imsCapacity	capacity of the internal InMemoryStorage used by dispatcher

Member Function Documentation

addTopPrefix()

void ndn::mgmt::Dispatcher::addTopPrefix	(	const Name &	prefix,
		bool	wantRegister = true,
		const security::SigningInfo &	signingInfo = security::SigningInfo()
	)

add a top-level prefix

Parameters

prefix	a top-level prefix, e.g., "/localhost/nfd"
wantRegister	whether prefix registration should be performed through the Face
signingInfo	signing parameters to sign the prefix registration command

Exceptions

std::out_of_range

prefix overlaps with an existing top-level prefix

Procedure for adding a top-level prefix:

1. if the new top-level prefix overlaps with an existing top-level prefix (one top-level prefix is a prefix of another top-level prefix), throw std::domain_error
2. if wantRegister is true, invoke face.registerPrefix for the top-level prefix; the returned RegisteredPrefixId shall be recorded internally, indexed by the top-level prefix
3. foreach relPrefix from ControlCommands and StatusDatasets, join the top-level prefix with the relPrefix to obtain the full prefix, and invoke non-registering overload of face.setInterestFilter, with the InterestHandler set to an appropriate private method to handle incoming Interests for the ControlCommand or StatusDataset; the returned InterestFilterId shall be recorded internally, indexed by the top-level prefix

removeTopPrefix()

void ndn::mgmt::Dispatcher::removeTopPrefix

(

const Name &

prefix

)

remove a top-level prefix

Parameters

prefix

a top-level prefix, e.g., "/localhost/nfd"

Procedure for removing a top-level prefix:

1. if the top-level prefix has not been added, abort these steps
2. if the top-level prefix has been added with wantRegister, invoke face.unregisterPrefix with the RegisteredPrefixId
3. foreach InterestFilterId recorded during addTopPrefix, invoke face.unsetInterestFilter with the InterestFilterId

addControlCommand()

template<typename CP >

void ndn::mgmt::Dispatcher::addControlCommand	(	const PartialName &	relPrefix,
		const Authorization &	authorization,
		const ValidateParameters &	validateParams,
		const ControlCommandHandler &	handler
	)

register a ControlCommand

Template Parameters

CP	subclass of ControlParameters used by this command

Parameters

relPrefix	a prefix for this command, e.g., "faces/create"; relPrefixes in ControlCommands, StatusDatasets, NotificationStreams must be non-overlapping (no relPrefix is a prefix of another relPrefix)
authorization	Callback to authorize the incoming commands
validateParams	Callback to validate parameters of the incoming commands
handler	Callback to handle the commands

Precondition

no top-level prefix has been added

Exceptions

std::out_of_range	relPrefix overlaps with an existing relPrefix
std::domain_error	one or more top-level prefix has been added

Procedure for processing a ControlCommand:

1. extract the NameComponent containing ControlParameters (the component after relPrefix), and parse ControlParameters into type CP; if parsing fails, abort these steps
2. perform authorization; if authorization is rejected, perform the RejectReply action, and abort these steps
3. validate ControlParameters; if validation fails, make ControlResponse with StatusCode 400, and go to step 5
4. invoke handler, wait until CommandContinuation is called
5. encode the ControlResponse into one Data packet
6. sign the Data packet
7. if the Data packet is too large, abort these steps and log an error
8. send the signed Data packet

addStatusDataset()

void ndn::mgmt::Dispatcher::addStatusDataset	(	const PartialName &	relPrefix,
		const Authorization &	authorization,
		const StatusDatasetHandler &	handler
	)

register a StatusDataset or a prefix under which StatusDatasets can be requested

Parameters

relPrefix	a prefix for this dataset, e.g., "faces/list"; relPrefixes in ControlCommands, StatusDatasets, NotificationStreams must be non-overlapping (no relPrefix is a prefix of another relPrefix)
authorization	should set identity to Name() if the dataset is public
handler	Callback to process the incoming dataset requests

Precondition

no top-level prefix has been added

Exceptions

std::out_of_range	relPrefix overlaps with an existing relPrefix
std::domain_error	one or more top-level prefix has been added

The payload of the returned status dataset data packet is at most half of the maximum data packet size.

Procedure for processing a StatusDataset request:

1. if the request Interest contains version or segment components, abort these steps; note: the request may contain more components after relPrefix, e.g., a query condition
2. perform authorization; if authorization is rejected, perform the RejectReply action, and abort these steps
3. invoke handler, store blocks passed to StatusDatasetAppend calls in a buffer, wait until StatusDatasetEnd is called
4. allocate a version
5. segment the buffer into one or more segments under the allocated version, such that the Data packets will not become too large after signing
6. set FinalBlockId on at least the last segment
7. sign the Data packets
8. send the signed Data packets

As an optimization, a Data packet may be sent as soon as enough octets have been collected through StatusDatasetAppend calls.

addNotificationStream()

PostNotification ndn::mgmt::Dispatcher::addNotificationStream

(

const PartialName &

relPrefix

)

register a NotificationStream

Parameters

relPrefix

a prefix for this notification stream, e.g., "faces/events"; relPrefixes in ControlCommands, StatusDatasets, NotificationStreams must be non-overlapping (no relPrefix is a prefix of another relPrefix)

Returns

a function into which notifications can be posted

Precondition

no top-level prefix has been added

Exceptions

std::out_of_range	relPrefix overlaps with an existing relPrefix
std::domain_error	one or more top-level prefix has been added

Procedure for posting a notification:

1. if no top-level prefix has been added, or more than one top-level prefixes have been added, abort these steps and log an error
2. assign the next sequence number to the notification
3. place the notification block into one Data packet under the sole top-level prefix
4. sign the Data packet
5. if the Data packet is too large, abort these steps and log an error
6. send the signed Data packet
