Network protocols

This chapter will detail the interfaces involved in the network protocol layer.

NetworkLayer

This interface must be implemented by all network protocol handlers.

TransportLayer

This interface must be implemented by OSI transport layer protocols.

LinkLayer

This interface must be implemented by OSI link layer protocols.

Registration

To register a network layer, the network layer class must be specified in an extension of the "org.jnode.net.networkLayers" extension point.
This is usually done in the descriptor of the plugin that holds the network layer.
