Known Subclasses:: ITLSTransport, ISSLTransport

A TCP based transport.

Method Summary
	`getHost(self)` Returns tuple ('INET', host, port).
	`getPeer(self)` Returns tuple ('INET', host, port).
	`getTcpKeepAlive(self)` Return if SO_KEEPALIVE enabled.
	`getTcpNoDelay(self)` Return if TCP_NODELAY is enabled.
	`loseConnection(self)` Close my connection, after writing all pending data. (inherited from `ITransport`)
	`setTcpKeepAlive(self, enabled)` Enable/disable SO_KEEPALIVE.
	`setTcpNoDelay(self, enabled)` Enable/disable TCP_NODELAY.
	`write(self, data)` Write some data to the physical connection, in sequence. (inherited from `ITransport`)
	`writeSequence(self, data)` Write a list of strings to the physical connection. (inherited from `ITransport`)

Method Details

getHost(self)

Returns tuple ('INET', host, port).

getPeer(self)

Returns tuple ('INET', host, port).

getTcpKeepAlive(self)

Return if SO_KEEPALIVE enabled.

getTcpNoDelay(self)

Return if TCP_NODELAY is enabled.

setTcpKeepAlive(self, enabled)

Enable/disable SO_KEEPALIVE.

Enabling SO_KEEPALIVE sends packets periodically when the connection is otherwise idle, usually once every two hours. They are intended to allow detection of lost peers in a non-infinite amount of time.

setTcpNoDelay(self, enabled)

Enable/disable TCP_NODELAY.

Enabling TCP_NODELAY turns off Nagle's algorithm. Small packets are sent sooner, possibly at the expense of overall throughput.
