Method Details

init(self, satellites, debug_method)
(Constructor)

Parameters:: satellites - registered satellites.
(type=dictionary, key=host_id, value=satellite.Satellite instance.); debug_method - the global debug method.
(type=method object (the global debug method).)

new(S, ...)

Returns:: a new object with type S, a subtype of T

halt(self)

exit the ping cycle on next tick. called on relay_registry.Co2RelayRegistry exit.

ping(self, satellite)

call a satellite proxy's ping method, calculate the delay, store it in the satellite's local representation and log the delay to the server's debugfile.

Parameters:: satellite - the satellite to ping.
(type=a satellite.Satellite instance.)

run(self)

start the ping cycle. the thread will ping all registered satellites (starting a separate thread for each, sleep for one tick (default 1s), then check if the halt method has been called, if so, exit the loop, otherwise sleep another tick etc.
