Method Detail

clone

NetworkDevice clone()

Description copied from interface: Entity

Creates a clone of this entity and sets its parent to null.

This is a deep clone method which also clones almost all children entities and sets their parents to the newly created clone. The only children which are not cloned are those implementing the UncloneableEntity interface.

Implementations must ensure that the new clone will be independent from the current entity.

Specified by:

clone in interface Entity

Specified by:

clone in interface FailureProneEntity

Specified by:

clone in interface Notifier

getInterfaces

List<NetworkInterface> getInterfaces()

Returns the list of interfaces contained within this NetworkDevice.

Returns:

the list of interfaces contained within this NetworkDevice

isRoutingEnabled

boolean isRoutingEnabled()

Returns true if this device can route data received from one interface to another interface.

This flag is used by RoutingProtocols when looking for routes.

Returns:

true if this device can route data

getRoutingProtocol

RoutingProtocol getRoutingProtocol()

Returns the RoutingProtocol associated with this NetworkDevice.

Returns:

the RoutingProtocol associated with this NetworkDevice

getCloudProvider

CloudProvider getCloudProvider()

Returns the CloudProvider to whom this device belongs to, or null if this device does not belong to any CloudProvider.

Returns:

the CloudProvider to whom this device belongs to, or null
