Performs a connection handshake with the remote end of the connection. Exchanges network identifier and any listener whose IPAddress matches the connection localEndPoint IPAddress.

Dispose of the connection. Recommended usage is to call CloseConnection instead.

Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object.

Establish this connection

Any connection type specific establish tasks. Should call at least ConnectionHandshake() or TriggerConnectionEstablishDelegates();

Returns a list of EndPoints corresponding to possible local listeners of the provided ConnectionType. If no listeners exist returns empty list.

Returns a list of EndPoint corresponding to possible local listeners of the provided ConnectionType with a local EndPoint with matching IPAddress. If no matching listeners exist returns empty list.

Returns a list of requested existing local listeners.

Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.

Serves as a hash function for a particular type.

Gets the Type of the current instance.

Attempts to use the data provided in packetBuilder to recreate something useful. If we don't have enough data yet that value is set in packetBuilder.

Returns true if the provided connection specific packet handler has been added for the provided packet type, on this connection.

Returns true if a connection specific unmanaged packet handler exists, on this connection.

Returns true if the provided connection specific unmanaged packet handler has been added, on this connection.

Returns true if at least one local listener of the provided ConnectionType exists.

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

Returns the packet type sendReceiveOptions possibly used to unwrap incoming data. If no specific options are registered returns null

Connection specific implementation for sending data on this connection type. Each StreamSendWrapper[] represents a single expected packet.

Send bytes on an unmanaged connection

A connection specific method which triggers any requisites for accepting incoming data

Start listening for new incoming connections on specified IPEndPoint. Inspect listener.LocalListenIPEndPoint when method returns to determine the IPEndPoint used.

Start listening for new incoming connections on specified IPEndPoints. Listener is matched with desired localIPEndPoint based on List index. Inspect listener.LocalListenIPEndPoint when method returns to determine the IPEndPoints used.

Start listening for incoming connections of the provided ConnectionType. If the desired localEndPoint is not available will throw a CommsSetupShutdownException.

Stops all local listeners

Stop listening for new incoming connections on specified ConnectionListenerBase and remove it from the local listeners dictionary.

Stop listening for new incoming connections on specified list of ConnectionListenerBase and remove them from the local listeners dictionary.

Stops all local listeners of the provided ConnectionType.

Stop listening for new incoming connections on specified EndPoint and remove it from the local listeners dictionary.

Returns ConnectionInfo.ToString

Trigger connection establish delegates.

Starts the connectionKeepAliveWorker thread if it is not already started

Trigger connection specific packet delegates with the provided parameters. Returns true if connection specific handlers were executed.

Return true if the connection is established within the provided timeout, otherwise false

True if the async listen method is in a beginRead

True if async listen has started

A boolean used to signal a connection setup exception.

If connectionSetupException is true provides additional exception information.

A manual reset event which can be used to handle connection setup and establish.

The thread listening for incoming data should we be using synchronous methods.

The PacketBuilder for this connection

A counter which is incremented during every a send. The current value is included in the header of all sent packets.

Lockers for maintaining thread safe operation

A NetworkComms.Net math object for tracking send times. Used to prevent send deadlocks. Initialised at 1000 milliseconds per KB write speed, corresponding with 1KB / second.
