Abstraction of a link used by the NetFeed instances to cover transportation layer.
The actual implementations are provided by a particular feed engine, whereas the NetFeed class interacts with the feed engine through the given abstraction.

Instances are constructed through descendants.

Instances aren't destructed in a regular way. The 'release()' member serves for that purpose.
Definition at line 55 of file FeedLink.h.
Establishes connection for the given feed.
The timeout parameter specifies amount of time allocated for the link to get into connected/linked state. The string parameter is used by the feed engine to report on non-critical issues which may take place while establishing communication link.

pure virtual |
Releases the link used by the given feed. Once invoked, no other members are invoked afterwards any more.
Sends the given message to the counterpart.
The given member is invoked by Handler only for the feeds assuming bi-directional communication like the historical ones. Multicast links aren't supposed to provide the given functionality and thus may raise an exception.
|
pure virtual |
Closes communication link for the given feed.
