net_instance_register(9F)				   Kernel Functions for Drivers 				 net_instance_register(9F)

NAME

       net_instance_register - register a set of instances to occur with IP instance events

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/neti.h>

       int net_instance_register(net_instance_t *instances);

INTERFACE LEVEL

       Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).

PARAMETERS

       instances    must be a pointer returned by net_instance_alloc(9F).

DESCRIPTION

       The  net_instance_register()  function  attempts  to  record  the  set of functions passed by instances that are to be called when an event
       related to IP instance maintenance occurs.

RETURN VALUES

       If the net_instance_register() function succeeds, DDI_SUCCESS is returned. Otherwise, DDI_FAILURE is returned to indicate  failure  due	to
       the name in the instance already being present.

CONTEXT

       The net_instance_register() function may be called from user or kernel context.

NAME

       net_routeto - indicate which network interface packets are sent

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/neti.h>

       phy_if_t net_routeto(const net_data_t *net, struct sockaddr *address,
	    struct sockaddr *nexthop);

INTERFACE LEVEL

       Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).

PARAMETERS

       net	  value returned from a successful call to net_protocol_lookup(9F).

       address	  network address to find a path out of the machine for.

       nexthop	  pointer  to the sockaddr structure in which to store the address of the next hop. If this information is not required, the value
		  NULL may be passed instead.

DESCRIPTION

       The net_routeto() function indicates which network interface packets destined for a particular address would be sent out of,  according	to
       the  systems network routing tables. If next is supplied as a non-NULL pointer, the IP address of the nexthop router to be used is returned
       in it.

RETURN VALUES

       The net_routeto() function returns:

       -1    The network protocol does not support this function.

       0     This function cannot find a route for the address given.

       >0    Indicates which network interface can be used to reach the given address.

CONTEXT

       The net_routeto() function may be called from user,  kernel, or interrupt context.
