net_inject_t - structure for describing how to transmit a packet
illumos DDI specific (illumos DDI).
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.
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.
