public abstract class TransportAdvertisement
extends ExtendableAdvertisement

This abstract class defines a Transport advertisement. Each peer endpoint protocol is associated with a transport advertisement that describes the protocol and network interface associated with the endpoint transport. For example for TCP endpoint. the following transport information needs to be maintained for this endpoint:

Transport :

• Protocol : TCP

• Port : 6001

• MulticastAddr : 224.0.1.85

• MulticastPort : 1234

• MulticastSize : 8192

This class is an abstract class that needs to be extended by implementation to support the different types of transport advertisements (TCP, HTTP, etc)
