Net::BGP::Transport(3p)

NAME
Net::BGP::Transport - Class encapsulating BGP-4 transport session state and functionality

SYNOPSIS
    use Net::BGP::Transport;

    $trans = Net::BGP::Transport->new(
        Start                => 1,
        Parent               => Net::BGP::Peer->new(),
        ConnectRetryTime     => 300,
        HoldTime             => 60,
        KeepAliveTime        => 20
    );

    $version = $trans->version();

    $trans->start();
    $trans->stop();

    $trans->update($update);
    $trans->refresh($refresh);

DESCRIPTION
This module encapsulates the state and functionality associated with a BGP transport connection. Each instance of a Net::BGP::Transport object corresponds to a TCP session with a distinct peer. It should not be used by it self, but encapsulated in a Net::BGP::Peer object.

CONSTRUCTOR

new() - create a new Net::BGP::Transport object
    This is the constructor for Net::BGP::Transport objects. It returns a reference to the newly created object. The following named parameters may be passed to the constructor. Once the object is created, the information can not be changed.

    Start
    ConnectRetryTime
    HoldTime
    KeepAliveTime
        Has the same meaning as their equivalente named argument for Net::BGP::Peer.

    Parent
        The parent Net::BGP::Peer object.

renew() - fetch the existing Net::BGP::Peer object from the "object string".
    This "reconstructor" returns a previeus constructed object from the perl genereted string-context scalar of the object, eg. Net::BGP::Peer=HASH(0x820952c).

ACCESSOR METHODS

version()
start()
stop()
update()
refresh()
is_established()
    This methods does the actuall work for the methods of the same name in Net::BGP::Peer.
