extends Object

This class represents a home network interface including MoCA, wired ethernet, and wireless ethernet. Reverse channel interfaces are not represented by objects of this class. For each wired ethernet, wireless ethernet, MoCA interface, or interface that is not a reverse channel interface the HNIMP SHALL create an instance of this class.

Field Summary

static int	MOCA Network interface type for hard-wired and MoCA based.
static int	UNKNOWN Unknown network type.
static int	WIRED_ETHERNET Network interface type for hard-wired and ethernet based.
static int	WIRELESS_ETHERNET Network interface type for wireless and ethernet based.

Constructor Summary

protected

NetworkInterface() Protected constructor.

Method Summary

String	getDisplayName() Gets a humanly readable name for this interface, e.g.
InetAddress	getInetAddress() Gets the InetAddress of this interface.
String	getMacAddress() Gets the MAC address of this interface.
static NetworkInterface[]	getNetworkInterfaces() Gets an array of NetworkInterface instances that represent all of the network interfaces supported by the device.
int	getType() Gets the type of this network interface.
