Class RTLookup

  drcl.comp.Contract
      drcl.inet.contract.RTLookup

public class RTLookup

extends Contract

The RouteLookup contract. This contract defines the following service at the reactor:

RouteLookup

The initiator sends a key (RTKey), an InetPacket, or a message that consists of an InetPacket and the incoming interface (int), and the reactor returns the outgoing interfaces (int[]) of the correspoding routing entry, the key of which has the longest match to the given key/packet.

This class also provides the static methods (lookup(RTKey, Port)), (lookup(InetPacket, Port)), and (lookup(InetPacket, incomingIf, Port)) to facilitate conducting the above service from the specified port. The method is particularly useful in implementing a protocol that needs to look up the outgoing ports of a routing entry.
