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)
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.
Got a problem with the documentation? Something unclear that could be clearer? Want to help improve it? Constructive criticism is very welcome - especially if you can suggest a better rewording!
Please leave you feedback here in reply to the documentation thread in the Kamaelia blog.
