April 2024 - This site, and Kamaelia are being updated. There is significant work needed, and PRs are welcome.

Kamaelia.Protocol.Packetise.MaxSizePacketiser

For examples and more explanations, see the module level docs.


class MaxSizePacketiser(Axon.Component.component)

This is a simple class whose purpose is to take a data stream and convert it into packets of a maximum size.

The default packet size is 1000 bytes.

This component was created due to limitations of multicast meaning packets get discarded more easily over a certain size.

Example usage:

Pipeline(
    ReadFileAdaptor(file_to_stream, readmode="bitrate", bitrate=400000,
                    chunkrate=50),
    SRM_Sender(),
    blockise(), # Ensure chunks small enough for multicasting!
    Multicast_transceiver("0.0.0.0", 0, "224.168.2.9", 1600),
).activate()

This component acts as a simple filter - data is expected on inboxes and packets come out the outbox.

This component does not terminate.

Warning!

You should be using the inbox/outbox interface, not these methods (except construction). This documentation is designed as a roadmap as to their functionalilty for maintainers and new component developers.
