Interface NetworkController

All Superinterfaces:

DomainChangeListener

public interface NetworkController
extends DomainChangeListener

This interface must be implemented by all the network controllers. A network controller is a component which listens to the events occurring on a network and which reacts in some way to these events.

Method Detail

start

void start(java.util.HashMap<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> params)
           throws NetworkControllerInitialisationException

Starts the network controller.

Parameters:

params - The parameters to initialise the network controller. See the specific documentation of each network controller to have a list of the supported parameters.

Throws:

NetworkControllerInitialisationException - If an error occurs during the initialisation of the controller.

stop

void stop()
