PCEPSession (bgpcep 0.17.11-SNAPSHOT API)

All Superinterfaces:

AutoCloseable, PCEPSessionState

All Known Implementing Classes:

PCEPSessionImpl
```
public interface PCEPSession
extends PCEPSessionState, AutoCloseable
```
PCEP Session represents the finite state machine in PCEP, including timers and its purpose is to create a PCEP connection between PCE/PCC. Session is automatically started, when TCP connection is created, but can be stopped manually. If the session is up, it has to redirect messages to/from user. Handles also malformed messages and unknown requests.

- Method Detail
  - sendMessage
```
io.netty.util.concurrent.Future<Void> sendMessage(Message message)
```
    Sends message from user to PCE/PCC. If the user sends an Open Message, the session returns an error (open message is only allowed, when a PCEP handshake is in progress). Close message will close the session and free all the resources.
    
    Parameters:
    
    message - message to be sent
    
    Returns:
    
    Future promise which will be succeed when the message is enqueued in the socket.
  - close
```
void close(TerminationReason reason)
```
  - getRemoteTlvs
```
Tlvs getRemoteTlvs()
```

```
@NonNull InetAddress getRemoteAddress()
```
    Returns remote address.
    
    Returns:
    
    inet address
  - getLocalTlvs
```
