Sample 2 - Who-Is/I-Am Counter
==============================
This sample application builds on the first sample by overriding the default
processing for Who-Is and I-Am requests, counting them, then continuing on
with the regular processing.
The description of this sample will be about the parts that are different from
sample 1.
.. note::
New in 0.15! As you've seen reading :ref:`Capabilities`, the new API allows
mixing functionnality to application more easily. In fact, by default,
inheriting from :class:`app.BISimpleApplication` includes
:class:`service.device.WhoIsIAmServices` and
:class:`service.device.ReadWritePropertyServices` capabilities.
Counters
--------
Python has a excellent *defaultdict* datatype from the *collections* module
that is perfect for this application. It is very easy to use::
>>> from collections import defaultdict
>>> x = defaultdict(int)
The essential idea is that you can treat some key as having a default value
if it doesn't exist, so rather than doing this::
>>> x['a'] = x.get('a', 0) + 1
You can do this::
>>> x['a'] += 1
Processing Service Requests
---------------------------
When an instance of the :class:`app.Application` receives a request it attempts
to look up a function based on the message. So when a WhoIsRequest APDU is
received, there should be a do_WhoIsRequest function. In fact,
:class:`services.device.WhoIsIAmServices` provides this function. For the sake
of this sample, we will override it so we can count requests.
The beginning is going to be standard boiler plate function header::
def do_WhoIsRequest(self, apdu):
"""Respond to a Who-Is request."""
if _debug: SampleApplication._debug("do_WhoIsRequest %r", apdu)
The middle is going to process the data in the request::
# build a key from the source and parameters
key = (str(apdu.pduSource),
apdu.deviceInstanceRangeLowLimit,
apdu.deviceInstanceRangeHighLimit,
)
# count the times this has been received
who_is_counter[key] += 1
And the end of the function is going to call back to the standard application
processing::
# pass back to the default implementation
BIPSimpleApplication.do_WhoIsRequest(self, apdu)
The do_IAmRequest function is similar::
def do_IAmRequest(self, apdu):
"""Given an I-Am request, cache it."""
if _debug: SampleApplication._debug("do_IAmRequest %r", apdu)
It uses a diferent key, but counts them the same::
# build a key from the source, just use the instance number
key = (str(apdu.pduSource),
apdu.iAmDeviceIdentifier[1],
)
# count the times this has been received
i_am_counter[key] += 1
And has an identical call to the base class::
# pass back to the default implementation
BIPSimpleApplication.do_IAmRequest(self, apdu)
Printing Results
----------------
By building the key out of elements in a useful order, it is simple enough
to sort the dictionary items and print them out, and being able to unpack
the key in the for loop is a nice feature of Python::
print("----- Who Is -----")
for (src, lowlim, hilim), count in sorted(who_is_counter.items()):
print("%-20s %8s %8s %4d" % (src, lowlim, hilim, count))
print("")
Pairing up the requests and responses can be a useful exercize, but in most
cases the I-Am response from a device will be a unicast message directly back
to the requestor, so relying on broadcast traffic to analyze device and
address binding is not as useful as it used to be.
