August'24: Kamaelia is in maintenance mode and will recieve periodic updates, about twice a year, primarily targeted around Python 3 and ecosystem compatibility. PRs are always welcome. Latest Release: 1.14.32 (2024/3/24)

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.
