# View Source megaco_tcp (megaco v4.7)

Interface module to TPKT transport protocol for Megaco/H.248.

This module contains the public interface to the TPKT (TCP/IP) version transport protocol for Megaco/H.248.

# Summary

## Types

counter()

Defines the different counters handled by this transport.

handle()

An opaque data type representing a TPKT connection.

## Functions

block(Handle)

Stop receiving incoming messages on the socket.

close(Handle)

This function is used for closing an active TPKT connection.

connect(TransportRef, Opts)

This function is used to open a TPKT connection.

get_stats()

Get all counter values for all known connections.

get_stats(Handle)

Get all counter values for a given (connection) handle.

get_stats(Handle, Counter)

Get the value of a specific counter.

listen(TransportRef, Options)

This function is used for starting new TPKT listening socket for TCP/IP. The option list contains the socket definitions.

reset_stats()

Reset all counters for all connections.

reset_stats(Handle)

Reset all counters for the given connection.

send_message(Handle, Msg)

Sends a message on a TPKT connection.

socket(Handle)

This function is used to convert a socket `handle()` to a inet `socket()`.

start_transport()

This function is used for starting the TCP/IP transport service. Use exit(TransportRef, Reason) to stop the transport service.

unblock(Handle)

Starting to receive incoming messages from the socket again.

upgrade_receive_handle(ControlPid, NewRecvHandle)

Upgrade the receive handle of the control process (e.g. after having changed protocol version).

                         ControlPid :: pid(),
                         Reason :: term().

This function is used to open a TPKT connection.

- `module` - This option makes it possible for the user to provide their own callback module. The `receive_message/4` or `process_received_message/4` functions of this module is called when a new message is received. Which one is called depends on the size of the message;

  - `small` - receive_message

  - `large` - process_received_message

  Default value is megaco.

- `inet_backend` - Choose the inet-backend.

  This option make it possible to use a different inet-backend ('default', 'inet' or 'socket').

  Default is `default` (system default).
