public class FLUSH extends Protocol
Flush is needed for:
(1) State transfer. When a member requests state transfer, the coordinator tells everyone to stop sending messages and waits for everyone's ack. Then it asks the application for its state and ships it back to the requester. After the requester has received and set the state successfully, the coordinator tells everyone to resume sending messages.
(2) View changes (e.g.a join). Before installing a new view V2, flushing would ensure that all messages *sent* in the current view V1 are indeed *delivered* in V1, rather than in V2 (in all non-faulty members). This is essentially Virtual Synchrony.

Called after instance has been created (null constructor) and before protocol is started.

List of events that are provided to layers below (they will be handled when sent down from
below).

Configures the protocol initially.

Channel.connect(String)
. Starts work.
Protocols are connected and queues are ready to receive events.
Will be called from bottom to top. This call will replace
the START and START_OK events.start
in class Protocol
java.lang.Exception
- Thrown if protocol cannot be started successfully. This will cause the ProtocolStack
to fail, so Channel.connect(String)
will throw an exceptionpublic void stop()
Protocol
Channel.disconnect()
. Stops work (e.g. by closing multicast socket).
Will be called from top to bottom. This means that at the time of the method invocation the
neighbor protocol below is still working. This method will replace the
STOP, STOP_OK, CLEANUP and CLEANUP_OK events. The ProtocolStack guarantees that
when this method is called all messages in the down queue will have been flushedpublic double getAverageFlushDuration()

passDown()
. In case of a GET_ADDRESS event (which tries to
retrieve the stack's address from one of the bottom layers), the layer may need to send
a new response event back up the stack using passUp()
