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

       Solaris DDI specific (Solaris 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.
