## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ TcpListener()

isc::tcp::TcpListener::TcpListener | ( | const asiolink::IOServicePtr & | io_service,
|  | const asiolink::IOAddress & | server_address,
|  | const unsigned short | server_port,
|  | const asiolink::TlsContextPtr & | tls_context,
|  | const IdleTimeout & | idle_timeout,
|  | const TcpConnectionFilterCallback & | connection_filter = 0 )

Constructor.

This constructor creates new server endpoint using the specified IP address and port. It also validates other specified parameters.

This constructor does not start accepting new connections! To start accepting connections run TcpListener::start.

Parameters

  io_service | IO service to be used by the listener.
  server_address | Address on which the TCP service should run.
  server_port | Port number on which the TCP service should run.
  tls_context | TLS context.
  idle_timeout | Timeout after which an idle TCP connection is
  connection_filter | Callback invoked during connection acceptance that can allow or deny connections based on the remote endpoint.

Exceptions

  TcpListenerError | when any of the specified parameters is invalid.

## ◆ ~TcpListener()

isc::tcp::TcpListener::~TcpListener | ( |  | ) |
| virtual

Virtual destructor.

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ accept()

void isc::tcp::TcpListener::accept | ( |  | ) |
| protected

Creates TcpConnection instance and adds it to the pool of active connections.

The next accepted connection will be handled by this instance.

Definition at line 81 of file tcp_listener.cc.

Referenced by acceptHandler(), and start().

Here is the call graph for this function:

## ◆ acceptHandler()

void isc::tcp::TcpListener::acceptHandler | ( | const boost::system::error_code & | ec | ) |
| protected

Callback invoked when the new connection is accepted.

It calls `TcpListener::accept` to create new `TcpConnection` instance.

Parameters

  ec | Error code passed to the handler. This is currently ignored.

Definition at line 92 of file tcp_listener.cc.

## ◆ createConnection()

TcpConnectionPtr isc::tcp::TcpListener::createConnection | ( | const TcpConnectionAcceptorCallback & | acceptor_callback,
|  | const TcpConnectionFilterCallback & | connection_filter )
| protected virtual

Creates an instance of the `TcpConnection`.

This method is virtual so as it can be overridden when customized connections are to be used, e.g. in case of unit testing.

Parameters

  acceptor_callback | Callback invoked when new connection is accepted.
  connection_filter | Callback invoked during acceptance which may allow of deny connections based on their remote address.

Returns
  Pointer to the created connection.

## ◆ getLocalAddress()

IOAddress isc::tcp::TcpListener::getLocalAddress | ( |  | ) | const

Returns local address on which server is listening.

Here is the call graph for this function:

## ◆ start()

void isc::tcp::TcpListener::start | ( |  | ) |

Starts accepting new connections.

This method starts accepting and handling new TCP connections on the IP address and port number specified in the constructor.

If the method is invoked successfully, it must not be invoked again until TcpListener::stop is called.

Exceptions

  TcpListenerError | if an error occurred.

## ◆ usedByRemoteIp()

size_t isc::tcp::TcpListener::usedByRemoteIp | ( | const asiolink::IOAddress & | remote_ip,
|  | size_t & | total_connections )
| inline

Returns the number of connections using a given remote IP address.

Used to limit the number of connections when accepting a new one.

Parameters

  | remote_ip | The remote IP address.
  [out] | total_connections | Size of the connection pool.

Returns
  The number of connections using a given remote IP address.
