Net::BG...ransport(3)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is Net::BGP::Transport — the 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 all the state and functionality associated with a BGP transport connection. Each instance of a Net::BGP::Transport object corresponds to one TCP session with a distinct peer. 🫶

bestie, it should not be used by itself — it's meant to be encapsulated in a Net::BGP::Peer object. no cap.

🧚 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 — and once the object is created, the information can not be changed. periodt.

• Start — has the same meaning as the equivalent named argument for Net::BGP::Peer.
• ConnectRetryTime — has the same meaning as the equivalent named argument for Net::BGP::Peer.
• HoldTime — has the same meaning as the equivalent named argument for Net::BGP::Peer.
• KeepAliveTime — has the same meaning as the equivalent 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 previously constructed object from the perl generated string-context scalar of the object, e.g. Net::BGP::Transport=HASH(0x820952c). 🪄

👑 ACCESSOR METHODS 👑

• version()
• start()
• stop()
• update()
• refresh()
• is_established()

These methods do the actual work for the methods of the same name in Net::BGP::Peer. 💪
