Transport Factories

Transports are created by transport factories in one of two ways:

  • Dialling a destination
  • Listening for a dial from a destination

Sample interface:

struct TransportFactory {
	// Set source address
	void bind(SocketAddress &addr);

	// Start listening for incoming dials
	void listen();

	// Dial destination address
	void dial(SocketAddress &addr);
};

!!! tip "Higher-order transport factories" Higher-order transport factories complement higher-order transports by wrapping a base transport factory. For example, StreamTransportFactory produces stream transports by wrapping around a base factory which produces datagram transports.
