Interface NetworkService

All Known Implementing Classes:

EmulatedNetworkServiceImpl, NetworkServiceImpl

public interface NetworkService

The NetworkService allows to browse and configure the network interfaces of the system.
NetworkService extends what is offered by the standard Java APIs by offering information like the NetworkInterface type - e.g. wired vs wireless vs modem - and additional information regarding the address of a NetworkInterface - e.g. its getway address, DNS, and so on.

Method Summary

List<NetInterface<? extends NetInterfaceAddress>>	getActiveNetworkInterfaces() Return the active NetworkIntefaces which have active connections for the system.
List<String>	getAllNetworkInterfaceNames() Gets the names of all the network interface attached to the system.
List<WifiAccessPoint>	getAllWifiAccessPoints() Returns the list of all available WifiAccessPoints as seen from the system.
String	getModemPppPort(ModemDevice modemDevice)
String	getModemUsbPort(String interfaceName)
List<NetInterface<? extends NetInterfaceAddress>>	getNetworkInterfaces() Gets the names of all the network interface attached to the system.
NetworkState	getState() Returns the overall state of the networking subsystem
NetInterfaceState	getState(String interfaceName) Returns the state of a specific network interface
List<WifiAccessPoint>	getWifiAccessPoints(String wifiInterfaceName) Returns the list of the WifiAccessPoints visible from the specified wifi network interface.

Method Detail

getState

NetworkState getState()
                      throws EsfException

Returns the overall state of the networking subsystem

Throws:

EsfException

getState

NetInterfaceState getState(String interfaceName)
                           throws EsfException

Returns the state of a specific network interface

Throws:

EsfException

getAllNetworkInterfaceNames

List<String> getAllNetworkInterfaceNames()
                                         throws EsfException

Gets the names of all the network interface attached to the system.

Returns:

the names of all interfaces regardless of 'up' status

Throws:

EsfException

getNetworkInterfaces

List<NetInterface<? extends NetInterfaceAddress>> getNetworkInterfaces()
                                                                       throws EsfException

Gets the names of all the network interface attached to the system. For each returned NetworkInterface, its currently active InterfaceAddresses are returned.

Returns:

all NetworkInterfaces

Throws:

EsfException

getAllWifiAccessPoints

List<WifiAccessPoint> getAllWifiAccessPoints()
                                             throws EsfException

Returns the list of all available WifiAccessPoints as seen from the system.

Returns:

all access points accessible from the system.

Throws:

EsfException

getWifiAccessPoints

List<WifiAccessPoint> getWifiAccessPoints(String wifiInterfaceName)
                                          throws EsfException

Returns the list of the WifiAccessPoints visible from the specified wifi network interface. If this wifiInterfaceName is in Master mode it will return a List with one WifiAccessPoint which is itself.

Parameters:

wifiInterfaceName - name of the interface used to scan for the available access points

Returns:

the list of the WifiAccessPoints visible from the specified wifi network interface.

Throws:

EsfException

getActiveNetworkInterfaces

List<NetInterface<? extends NetInterfaceAddress>> getActiveNetworkInterfaces()
                                                                             throws EsfException

Return the active NetworkIntefaces which have active connections for the system.

Returns:

Throws:

EsfException

getModemUsbPort

String getModemUsbPort(String interfaceName)

getModemPppPort

String getModemPppPort(ModemDevice modemDevice)
                       throws EsfException

Throws:

EsfException
