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.
