Interface BabelNode

All Known Implementing Classes:

IPBabelNodeIdentity, PublicKeyBabelNode

public interface BabelNode

Opaque handle that represents a remote Babel process reachable through a BabelChannel.

The interpretation of a BabelNode (e.g., IP address, in-JVM reference) is entirely determined by the BabelChannel implementation. Protocol code treats nodes as identity tokens and must not attempt to cast them to a concrete type unless targeting a specific channel implementation.
