+ \class QNetworkConfiguration
+
+ \brief The QNetworkConfiguration class provides an abstraction of one or more access point configurations.
+
+ \since 4.7
+
+ \inmodule QtNetwork
+ \ingroup bearer
+
+ QNetworkConfiguration encapsulates a single access point or service network.
+ In most cases a single access point configuration can be mapped to one network
+ interface. However a single network interface may not always map to only one
+ access point configuration. Multiple configurations for the same
+ network device may enable multiple access points. An example
+ device that could exhibit such a configuration might be a
+ Smartphone which allows the user to manage multiple WLAN
+ configurations while the device itself has only one WLAN network device.
+
+ The QNetworkConfiguration also supports the concept of service networks.
+ This concept allows the grouping of multiple access point configurations
+ into one entity. Such a group is called service network and can be
+ beneficial in cases whereby a network session to a
+ particular destination network is required (e.g. a company network).
+ When using a service network the user doesn't usually care which one of the
+ connectivity options is chosen (e.g. corporate WLAN or VPN via GPRS)
+ as long as he can reach the company's target server. Depending
+ on the current position and time some of the access points that make
+ up the service network may not even be available. Furthermore
+ automated access point roaming can be enabled which enables the device
+ to change the network interface configuration dynamically while maintaining
+ the applications connection to the target network. It allows adaption
+ to the changing environment and may enable optimization with regards to
+ cost, speed or other network parameters.
+
+ Special configurations of type UserChoice provide a placeholder configuration which is
+ resolved to an actual network configuration by the platform when a
+ \l {QNetworkSession}{session} is \l {QNetworkSession::open()}{opened}. Not all platforms
+ support the concept of a user choice configuration.
+
+ \section1 Configuration states
+
+ The list of available configurations can be obtained via
+ QNetworkConfigurationManager::allConfigurations(). A configuration can have
+ multiple states. The \l Defined configuration state indicates that the configuration
+ is stored on the device. However the configuration is not yet ready to be activated
+ as e.g. a WLAN may not be available at the current time.
+
+ The \l Discovered state implies that the configuration is \l Defined and
+ the outside conditions are such that the configuration can be used immediately
+ to open a new network session. An example of such an outside condition may be
+ that the Ethernet cable is actually connected to the device or that the WLAN
+ with the specified SSID is in range.
+
+ The \l Active state implies that the configuration is \l Discovered. A configuration
+ in this state is currently being used by an application. The underlying network
+ interface has a valid IP configuration and can transfer IP packets between the
+ device and the target network.
+
+ The \l Undefined state indicates that the system has knowledge of possible target
+ networks but cannot actually use that knowledge to connect to it. An example
+ for such a state could be an encrypted WLAN that has been discovered
+ but the user hasn't actually saved a configuration including the required password
+ which would allow the device to connect to it.
+
+ Depending on the type of configuration some states are transient in nature. A GPRS/UMTS
+ connection may almost always be \l Discovered if the GSM/UMTS network is available.
+ However if the GSM/UMTS network looses the connection the associated configuration may change its state
+ from \l Discovered to \l Defined as well. A similar use case might be triggered by
+ WLAN availability. QNetworkConfigurationManager::updateConfigurations() can be used to
+ manually trigger updates of states. Note that some platforms do not require such updates
+ as they implicitly change the state once it has been discovered. If the state of a
+ configuration changes all related QNetworkConfiguration instances change their state automatically.

+ \enum QNetworkConfiguration::Type
+
+ This enum describes the type of configuration.
+
+ \value InternetAccessPoint The configuration specifies the details for a single access point.
+ Note that configurations of type InternetAccessPoint may be part
+ of other QNetworkConfigurations of type ServiceNetwork.
+ \value ServiceNetwork The configuration is based on a group of QNetworkConfigurations of
+ type InternetAccessPoint. All group members can reach the same
+ target network. This type of configuration is a mandatory
+ requirement for roaming enabled network sessions. On some
+ platforms this form of configuration may also be called Service
+ Network Access Point (SNAP).
+ \value UserChoice The configuration is a placeholder which will be resolved to an
+ actual configuration by the platform when a session is opened. Depending
+ on the platform the selection may generate a popup dialog asking the user
+ for his preferred choice.
+ \value Invalid The configuration is invalid.
+*/
+
+/*!
+ \enum QNetworkConfiguration::StateFlag
+
+ Specifies the configuration states.
+
+ \value Undefined This state is used for transient configurations such as newly discovered
+ WLANs for which the user has not actually created a configuration yet.
+ \value Defined Defined configurations are known to the system but are not immediately
+ usable (e.g. a configured WLAN is not within range or the Ethernet cable
+ is currently not plugged into the machine).
+ \value Discovered A discovered configuration can be immediately used to create a new
+ QNetworkSession. An example of a discovered configuration could be a WLAN
+ which is within in range. If the device moves out of range the discovered
+ flag is dropped. A second example is a GPRS configuration which generally
+ remains discovered for as long as the phone has network coverage. A
+ configuration that has this state is also in state
+ QNetworkConfiguration::Defined. If the configuration is a service network
+ this flag is set if at least one of the underlying access points
+ configurations has the Discovered state.
+ \value Active The configuration is currently used by an open network session
+ (see \l QNetworkSession::isOpen()). However this does not mean that the
+ current process is the entity that created the open session. It merely
+ indicates that if a new QNetworkSession were to be constructed based on
+ this configuration \l QNetworkSession::state() would return
+ \l QNetworkSession::Connected. This state implies the
+ QNetworkConfiguration::Discovered state.
