Detailed Description

Fragmentation module.

Some transports cannot send very big messages, for example UDP imposes a limit of 64K, and in practice the limit is even more strict than that. This class decomposes a message into multiple fragments, using an application defined maximum size.

Member Function Documentation

int ACE_RMCast_Fragment::data (  ACE_RMCast::Data &  data  )  [virtual]

Only data messages need fragmentation, the control messages are all small enough for all the transports that I know about. Well, actually for CAN-Bus (Controller Area Network), they may be too big, because the max payload there is 8 bytes, but we don't play with those in ACE. Reimplemented from ACE_RMCast_Module.

ACE_INLINE size_t ACE_RMCast_Fragment::max_fragment_size (  void   )  const

Accessor for the max_fragment size. There is no modifier, the maximum fragment size is obtained using feedback from the lower layers (transport?) @TODO We have not implemented the feedback mechanisms yet!
