Package tuwien.auto.calimero.link Description

Link interface to access a KNX network.

There are two different types of links:
A link is either used to send L-data messages to the KNX network and receive L-data messages from the network, the other type of link is to monitor a KNX network by receiving monitor indication messages.

A link implementation uses a specific underlying protocol to access the KNX network, hiding its particular type of connection and protocol interaction.
Also, a link is configured with the type of KNX network medium used to interconnect KNX devices, to enable a transparent handling of KNX medium specific message parts.
