LAVI:Extension

From OpenFlow Wiki

Overview

In LAVI, messages from the frontend is received and posted as Book_msg_event. The event contains the message (read doxygen documentation for the exact protocol format), and reference to the socket it is received on. This allows a reply to be sent easily. The following should be done in your component

1. Register for Book_msg_event
2. Also put your component in nox.xml, making sure it is in the desired order.
3. Make sure your component clear any state associated with a connection, when the connection has a BOOKT_DISCONNECT message posted.

Within LAVI, golems can be used to pack (the header part) and send all the packets to/from the frontend. This make sure the length of the packet is correctly packed, which goes a long way in preventing weird behaviors.
