Class PeerID

    java.lang.Object
      org.klomp.snark.PeerID

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Comparable

    public class PeerID

extends Object
implements Comparable

Store the address information about a peer. Prior to 0.8.1, an instantiation required a peer ID, and full Destination address. Starting with 0.8.1, to support compact tracker responses, a PeerID can be instantiated with a Destination Hash alone. The full destination lookup is deferred until getAddress() is called, and the PeerID is not required. Equality is now determined solely by the dest hash.

Constructor Summary
`PeerID(BDecoder be)` Creates a PeerID from a BDecoder.
`PeerID(byte[] dest_hash)` Creates a PeerID from a destHash
`PeerID(byte[] id, Destination address)`
`PeerID(Map m)` Creates a PeerID from a Map containing BEncoded peer id, ip and port.

Method Summary
`int` `compareTo(Object o)` Deprecated. unused? and will NPE now that address can be null?
`boolean` `equals(Object o)` Two PeerIDs are equal when they have the same dest hash
`Destination` `getAddress()` Get the destination.
`byte[]` `getDestHash()`
`byte[]` `getID()`
`int` `getPort()`
`int` `hashCode()` The hash code of a PeerID is the hashcode of the desthash
`static String` `idencode(byte[] bs)` Encode an id as a hex encoded string and remove leading zeros.
`boolean` `sameID(PeerID pid)` Returns true if and only if this peerID and the given peerID have the same destination hash
`void` `setID(byte[] xid)` for connecting out to peer based on desthash @since 0.8.1
`String` `toString()` Returns the String "id@address" where id is the base64 encoded id and address is the base64 dest (was the base64 hash of the dest) which should match what the bytemonsoon tracker reports on its web pages.

Constructor Detail

### PeerID

    public PeerID(byte[] id,
                  Destination address)

### PeerID

    public PeerID(BDecoder be)
           throws IOException

  Creates a PeerID from a BDecoder.

  Throws:
    `IOException`

### PeerID

    public PeerID(Map m)
           throws InvalidBEncodingException,
                  UnknownHostException

  Creates a PeerID from a Map containing BEncoded peer id, ip and port.

  Throws:
    `InvalidBEncodingException`
    `UnknownHostException`

### PeerID

    public PeerID(byte[] dest_hash)
           throws InvalidBEncodingException

  Creates a PeerID from a destHash

  Throws:
    `InvalidBEncodingException`
  Since:
    0.8.1

Method Detail

### getID

    public byte[] getID()

### setID

    public void setID(byte[] xid)

  for connecting out to peer based on desthash @since 0.8.1

### getAddress

    public Destination getAddress()

  Get the destination. If this PeerId was instantiated with a destHash, and we have not yet done so, lookup the full destination, which may take up to 10 seconds.

  Returns:
    Dest or null if unknown

### getPort

    public int getPort()

### getDestHash

    public byte[] getDestHash()

  Since:
    0.8.1

### hashCode

    public int hashCode()

  The hash code of a PeerID is the hashcode of the desthash

  Overrides:
    `hashCode` in class `Object`

### sameID

    public boolean sameID(PeerID pid)

  Returns true if and only if this peerID and the given peerID have the same destination hash

### equals

    public boolean equals(Object o)

  Two PeerIDs are equal when they have the same dest hash

  Overrides:
    `equals` in class `Object`

### compareTo

    public int compareTo(Object o)

  Deprecated. unused? and will NPE now that address can be null?

  Compares port, address and id.

  Specified by:
    `compareTo` in interface `Comparable`

### toString

    public String toString()

  Returns the String "id@address" where id is the base64 encoded id and address is the base64 dest (was the base64 hash of the dest) which should match what the bytemonsoon tracker reports on its web pages.

  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `Object`

### idencode

    public static String idencode(byte[] bs)

  Encode an id as a hex encoded string and remove leading zeros.
