NET_INJECT_T(9S) Data Structures for Drivers NET_INJECT_T(9S)

NAME

net_inject_t - structure for describing how to transmit a packet

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/neti.h>

INTERFACE LEVEL

illumos DDI specific (illumos DDI).

DESCRIPTION

The net_inject_t data structure passes information in to net_inject about
how to transmit a packet. Transmit includes sending the packet up into
the system as well as out of it.

STRUCTURE MEMBERS

mblk_t *ni_packet; /* start of the packet */
struct sockaddr_storage ni_addr; /* address of next hop */
phy_if_t ni_physical; /* network interface to use */


ni_packet
Pointer to the first the mblk_t data structure that makes
up this packet.


ni_addr
This field is only required to be initialized if
NI_DIRECT_OUT is being used to transmit the packet. The
sockaddr_storage field must be set to indicate whether the
destination address contained in the structure is IPv4
(cast ni_addr to struct sockaddr_in) or IPv6 (cast ni_addr
to struct sockaddr_in6).


ni_physical
The physical interface where the packet will be injected.
