# OSNet demux: uses the OS network stack to demultiplex incoming datagrams
# among sockets bound to the same ports. Written by Ray Brown.
"""OS Network UDP Demux
This module implements a demux that uses the OS network stack to demultiplex
datagrams coming from different peers among datagram sockets that are all bound
to the port at which these datagrams are being received. The network stack is
instructed as to which socket an incoming datagram should be sent to by
connecting the destination socket to the peer endpoint.
The OSNet demux requires operating system functionality that exists in the
Linux kernel, but not in the Windows network stack.
Classes:
UDPDemux -- a network stack configuring UDP demux
Exceptions:
KeyError -- raised for unknown peer addresses
"""
class UDPDemux(object):
"""OS network stack configuring demux

network endpoints, configuring the network stack to demultiplex
incoming datagrams from these endpoints among these sockets.
Methods:
get_connection -- create a new connection or retrieve an existing one
remove_connection -- remove an existing connection
service -- this method does nothing for this type of demux
