Many times udp packets need to be parsed. * Since the filter can run in its own independent queue, you can parallelize this parsing quite easily. * The end result is a parallel socket io, datagram parsing, and packet processing. * * 2. Many times udp packets are discarded because they are duplicate/unneeded/unsolicited. * The filter can prevent such packets from arriving at the delegate. * And because the filter can run in its own independent queue, this doesn't slow down the delegate. * * - Since the udp protocol does not guarantee delivery, udp packets may be lost. * Many protocols built atop udp thus provide various resend/re-request algorithms. * This sometimes results in duplicate packets arriving. * A filter may allow you to architect the duplicate detection code to run in parallel to normal processing. * * - Since the udp socket may be connectionless, its possible for unsolicited packets to arrive. * Such packets need to be ignored. * * 3. Sometimes traffic shapers are needed to simulate real world environments. * A filter allows you to write custom code to simulate such environments. * The ability to code this yourself is especially helpful when your simulated environment * is more complicated than simple traffic shaping (e.g. simulating a cone port restricted router), * or the system tools to handle this aren't available (e.g. on a mobile device). * * Example: * * GCDAsyncUdpSocketReceiveFilterBlock filter = ^BOOL (NSData *data, NSData *address, id *context) { * * MyProtocolMessage *msg = [MyProtocol parseMessage:data]; * * *context = response; * return (response != nil); * }; * [udpSocket setReceiveFilter:filter withQueue:myParsingQueue]; * * For more information about GCDAsyncUdpSocketReceiveFilterBlock, see the documentation for its typedef. * To remove a previously set filter, invoke this method and pass a nil filterBlock and NULL filterQueue. * * Note: This method invokes setReceiveFilter:withQueue:isAsynchronous: (documented below), * passing YES for the isAsynchronous parameter. **/ - (void)setReceiveFilter:(GCDAsyncUdpSocketReceiveFilterBlock)filterBlock withQueue:(dispatch_queue_t)filterQueue; /** * The receive filter can be run via dispatch_async or dispatch_sync. * Most typical situations call for asynchronous operation. * * However, there are a few situations in which synchronous operation is preferred. * Such is the case when the filter is extremely minimal and fast. * This is because dispatch_sync is faster than dispatch_async. * * If you choose synchronous operation, be aware of possible deadlock conditions. * Since the socket queue is executing your block via dispatch_sync, * then you cannot perform any tasks which may invoke dispatch_sync on the socket queue. * For example, you can't query properties on the socket. **/ - (void)setReceiveFilter:(GCDAsyncUdpSocketReceiveFilterBlock)filterBlock withQueue:(dispatch_queue_t)filterQueue isAsynchronous:(BOOL)isAsynchronous; #pragma mark Closing /** * Immediately closes the underlying socket. * Any pending send operations are discarded. * * The GCDAsyncUdpSocket instance may optionally be used again. * (it will setup/configure/use another unnderlying BSD socket). **/ - (void)close; /** * Closes the underlying socket after all pending send operations have been sent. * * The GCDAsyncUdpSocket instance may optionally be used again. * (it will setup/configure/use another unnderlying BSD socket). **/ - (void)closeAfterSending; #pragma mark Advanced /** * GCDAsyncSocket maintains thread safety by using an internal serial dispatch_queue. * In most cases, the instance creates this queue itself. * However, to allow for maximum flexibility, the internal queue may be passed in the init method. * This allows for some advanced options such as controlling socket priority via target queues. * However, when one begins to use target queues like this, they open the door to some specific deadlock issues. * * For example, imagine there are 2 queues: * dispatch_queue_t socketQueue; * dispatch_queue_t socketTargetQueue; * * If you do this (pseudo-code): * socketQueue.targetQueue = socketTargetQueue; * * Then all socketQueue operations will actually get run on the given socketTargetQueue. * This is fine and works great in most situations. * But if you run code directly from within the socketTargetQueue that accesses the socket, * you could potentially get deadlock.
