NifMan Overview


Purpose

Allows an application to monitor network connections.

The client interface is superseded in v7.0s by the Connection Management API (which is part of the Sockets Client API).

Architectural relationships

When a network protocol has no route available to some destination machine or network, the system uses NifMan to start up an appropriate network interface.

NifMan itself uses a client/server architecture. The server defines a plug-in architecture for agents that establish such interfaces.

Description

The client interface passes application requests to monitor a connection to the NifMan server for processing. It is provided by RNif. Progress information is returned in TNifProgress objects.
