Struct NetworkPacketReceiver

The NetworkPacketReceiver is an interface for handling received packets, needed by the INetworkInterface It either can be used in two main scenarios:

Your API requires a pointer to memory that you own. Then you should use AllocateMemory(ref int), write to the memory and then AppendPacket(IntPtr, ref NetworkInterfaceEndPoint, int, AppendPacketMode) with NoCopyNeeded. You don't need to deallocate the memory
Your API gives you a pointer that you don't own. In this case you should use AppendPacket(IntPtr, ref NetworkInterfaceEndPoint, int, AppendPacketMode) with None (default)

Syntax

public struct NetworkPacketReceiver

Properties

LastUpdateTime

Gets the value of the last update time.

Declaration

public long LastUpdateTime { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
long

ReceiveErrorCode

Sets the value of the receive error code

Declaration

public int ReceiveErrorCode { set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
int

Methods

AllocateMemory(ref int)

Calls NetworkDriver's AllocateMemory(ref int)

Declaration

public IntPtr AllocateMemory(ref int dataLen)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
int	dataLen	Size of memory to allocate in bytes. Must be > 0

Returns

Type	Description
IntPtr	Pointer to allocated memory or IntPtr.Zero if there is no space left (this function doesn't set ReceiveErrorCode! caller should decide if this is Out of memory or something else)

AppendPacket(IntPtr, ref NetworkInterfaceEndPoint, int, AppendPacketMode)

When data is received this function should be called to pass it inside NetworkDriver

Declaration

public bool AppendPacket(IntPtr data, ref NetworkInterfaceEndPoint address, int dataLen, NetworkPacketReceiver.AppendPacketMode mode = AppendPacketMode.None)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
IntPtr	data	Pointer to the data. If it is pointer to data that was received with AllocateMemory(ref int) make sure mode is NoCopyNeeded>
NetworkInterfaceEndPoint	address	Address where data was received from
int	dataLen	Length of data in bytes
NetworkPacketReceiver.AppendPacketMode	mode	Extra flags, like NoCopyNeeded that means - no copy is needed, data is already in NetworkDriver's data stream

Returns

Type	Description
bool	True if no errors

IsAddressUsed(NetworkInterfaceEndPoint)

Check if an address is currently associated with a valid connection. This is mostly useful to keep interface internal lists of connections in sync with the correct state.

Declaration

public bool IsAddressUsed(NetworkInterfaceEndPoint address)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
NetworkInterfaceEndPoint	address	Address to check.

Returns

Type	Description
bool	Whether the address is used or not.
