This field specifies the complete network address to be used by the bridge process placed on the LMID as its listening address. The listening address for a bridge is the means by which it is contacted by other bridge processes participating in the application.
A TCP/IP address is specified in one of two formats:
//hostname:port_number
//#.#.#.#:port_number
In the first format, the bridge finds an address for hostname
using the local name resolution facilities (usually DNS). hostname
must unambiguously resolve to the address of the machine on which the bridge resides.
In the second format, the #.#.#.#
is in dotted decimal format. Each #
is a number from 0 to 255. This dotted decimal number represents the IP address of the local machine.
The address can also be specified in hexadecimal format.
The address can also be specified as an arbitrary string (with a maximum of 78 characters). For example, string addresses are used in STARLAN networks.
A local machine on which a TDomain is being run is using TCP/IP addressing and is named backup.company.com
, with address 155.2.193.18. The port number at which the TDomain should accept requests is 2334; this port number has been added to the network services database under the name bankapp-bridge
. The address can be specified in any of the following five formats:
//155.2.193.18:bankapp-bridge
//155.2.193.18:2334
//backup.company.com:bankapp-bridge
//backup.company.com:2334
//0x0002091E9B02C112
The last example shows the Hexadecimal Addresses format.
