Method Detail

getName

public String getName()

Description copied from interface: NetInterface

Returns the name of this NetworkInterface.

Specified by:

getName in interface NetInterface<T extends NetInterfaceAddress>

Returns:

interface name

setName

public void setName(String name)

getHardwareAddress

public byte[] getHardwareAddress()

Description copied from interface: NetInterface

Returns the hardware address (usually MAC) of the interface if it has one.

Specified by:

getHardwareAddress in interface NetInterface<T extends NetInterfaceAddress>

Returns:

a byte array containing the address or null if the address doesn't exist

isLoopback

public boolean isLoopback()

Description copied from interface: NetInterface

Returns whether a network interface is a loopback interface.

Specified by:

isLoopback in interface NetInterface<T extends NetInterfaceAddress>

Returns:

true if the interface is a loopback interface.

isPointToPoint

public boolean isPointToPoint()

Description copied from interface: NetInterface

Returns whether a network interface is a point to point interface. A typical point to point interface would be a PPP connection through a modem.

Specified by:

isPointToPoint in interface NetInterface<T extends NetInterfaceAddress>

Returns:

true if the interface is a point to point interface.

isVirtual

public boolean isVirtual()

Description copied from interface: NetInterface

Returns whether this interface is a virtual interface (also called subinterface). Virtual interfaces are, on some systems, interfaces created as a child of a physical interface and given different settings (like address or MTU). Usually the name of the interface will the name of the parent followed by a colon (:) and a number identifying the child since there can be several virtual interfaces attached to a single physical interface.

Specified by:

isVirtual in interface NetInterface<T extends NetInterfaceAddress>

Returns:

true if this interface is a virtual interface.

supportsMulticast

public boolean supportsMulticast()

Description copied from interface: NetInterface

Returns whether a network interface supports multicasting or not.

Specified by:

supportsMulticast in interface NetInterface<T extends NetInterfaceAddress>

Returns:

true if the interface supports Multicasting.

isUp

public boolean isUp()

Description copied from interface: NetInterface

Returns whether a network interface is up and running.

Specified by:

isUp in interface NetInterface<T extends NetInterfaceAddress>

Returns:

true if the interface is up and running.

getMTU

public int getMTU()

Description copied from interface: NetInterface

Returns the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) of this interface - Design speed of the device, in megabits/second (Mb/s).

Specified by:

getMTU in interface NetInterface<T extends NetInterfaceAddress>

Returns:

the value of the MTU for that interface.

setMTU

public void setMTU(int mtu)

getDriver
