  a stream for reading from this socket.

  Throws:

  IOException - if an I/O error occurs when creating the input stream.

• getOutputStream

  protected abstract OutputStream getOutputStream()
                                           throws IOException

  protected abstract int available()
                            throws IOException

  Returns the number of bytes that can be read from this socket without blocking.

  Returns:

  the number of bytes that can be read from this socket without blocking.

  Throws:

  IOException - if an I/O error occurs when determining the number of bytes available.

• close

  protected abstract void close()
                         throws IOException

  Closes this socket.

  Throws:

  IOException - if an I/O error occurs when closing this socket.

• shutdownInput

  protected void shutdownInput()
                        throws IOException

  Places the input stream for this socket at "end of stream". Any data sent to this socket is acknowledged and then silently discarded. If you read from a socket input stream after invoking shutdownInput() on the socket, the stream will return EOF.

  Throws:

  IOException - if an I/O error occurs when shutting down this socket.

  Since:

  1.3

  Socket.shutdownOutput(), Socket.close(), Socket.setSoLinger(boolean, int)

• shutdownOutput

  protected void shutdownOutput()
                         throws IOException

  Disables the output stream for this socket. For a TCP socket, any previously written data will be sent followed by TCP's normal connection termination sequence. If you write to a socket output stream after invoking shutdownOutput() on the socket, the stream will throw an IOException.

  Throws:

  IOException - if an I/O error occurs when shutting down this socket.

• setPerformancePreferences

  protected void setPerformancePreferences(int connectionTime,
                               int latency,
                               int bandwidth)

  Sets performance preferences for this socket.

  Sockets use the TCP/IP protocol by default. Some implementations may offer alternative protocols which have different performance characteristics than TCP/IP. This method allows the application to express its own preferences as to how these tradeoffs should be made when the implementation chooses from the available protocols.

  Performance preferences are described by three integers whose values indicate the relative importance of short connection time, low latency, and high bandwidth. The absolute values of the integers are irrelevant; in order to choose a protocol the values are simply compared, with larger values indicating stronger preferences. Negative values represent a lower priority than positive values. If the application prefers short connection time over both low latency and high bandwidth, for example, then it could invoke this method with the values (1, 0, 0). If the application prefers high bandwidth above low latency, and low latency above short connection time, then it could invoke this method with the values (0, 1, 2). By default, this method does nothing, unless it is overridden in a a sub-class.

  Parameters:

  connectionTime - An int expressing the relative importance of a short connection time

  latency - An int expressing the relative importance of low latency

  bandwidth - An int expressing the relative importance of high bandwidth
