Method Detail

sortStructureList

static void sortStructureList(List<? extends DataStructure> dataStructures)

See above. DEPRECATED - Only used by RouterInfo.

sortStructures

public static <T extends DataStructure> List<T> sortStructures(Collection<T> dataStructures)

Sort based on the Hash of the DataStructure. Warning - relatively slow. WARNING - this sort order must be consistent network-wide, so while the order is arbitrary, it cannot be changed. Why? Just because it has to be consistent so signing will work. DEPRECATED - Only used by RouterInfo.

Returns:

a new list
