public interface Protocol
extends java.lang.Cloneable

Interface to identify protocols.

Method Summary

java.lang.Object

clone() Returns a clone of the protocol.

Method Detail

clone

java.lang.Object clone()

Returns a clone of the protocol. It is important to pay attention to implement this carefully because in peersim all nodes are generated by cloning except a prototype node. That is, the constructor of protocols is used only to construct the prototype. Initialization can be done via Controls.
