Specifies the values that define a Peer Cloud object.

public ref class Cloud : IEquatable<System::Net::PeerToPeer::Cloud ^>, System::Runtime::Serialization::ISerializable

[System.Serializable]
public class Cloud : IEquatable<System.Net.PeerToPeer.Cloud>, System.Runtime.Serialization.ISerializable

[<System.Serializable>]
type Cloud = class
    interface ISerializable
    interface IEquatable<Cloud>

Public Class Cloud
Implements IEquatable(Of Cloud), ISerializable

Inheritance: Object
Cloud

Attributes: SerializableAttribute

Implements: IEquatable<Cloud> ISerializable

Remarks

A Cloud is a set of nodes that can communicate with each other through the network. Cloud, peer mesh, and peer-to-peer graph are synonymous. A single peer or node may be connected to more than one cloud.

Communication between nodes should never cross from one cloud to another. A Cloud instance is uniquely identified by its name, which is case-sensitive.

Clouds are tied very closely to network interfaces. On a multi-homed machine with two network cards attached to different subnets, three clouds will be returned: one for each of the link local addresses per interface, and a single global scope cloud.

Constructors

Cloud(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext)

Initializes a new instance of the PNRP Cloud type. This populates a serialization information object with the data needed to serialize the Cloud object.

Fields

AllLinkLocal	Returns a reference to a Cloud which represents all the link-local clouds in which the client or peer is currently participating.
Available	Returns a static reference to a Cloud which represents all the available clouds in which the client is currently participating.

Properties

Global	Gets a Cloud instance that contains globally (internet) scoped peers.
Name	Gets the name of the peer Cloud.
Scope	Gets the network scope of the peer Cloud.
ScopeId	Gets the identifier of a specific IP address for this peer Cloud.

Methods

Equals(Cloud)	Performs a case-sensitive comparison between two cloud objects.
Equals(Object)	Determines whether the content of this peer Cloud is equivalent to the content of a System object.
GetAvailableClouds()	Obtains a collection of peer clouds known to the calling peer.
GetCloudByName(String)	Returns the Cloud object with the specified cloud name.
GetHashCode()	Overrides GetHashCode().
GetObjectData(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext)	Populates a System.Runtime.Serialization information object with the data needed to serialize the Cloud.
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
ToString()	Returns a string representation of the current Cloud.

Explicit Interface Implementations

ISerializable.GetObjectData(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext)

Implements the ISerializable interface and returns the data needed to serialize the Cloud instance.
