      com.agentfactory.cldc.p2pmig.P2PMigrationManager

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Runnable

public class P2PMigrationManager
extends Service
implements java.lang.Runnable

The peer to peer migration manager is a service that is responsible for controlling the migration process in a peer to peer manner. The original migration manner was designed for use in 3G and GPRS environments, whereby service providers operate firewalls. With the peer to peer migration service, agents migrate directly from platform to platform, not via an intermediary server.
