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.

NAME

       hook_nic_event - data structure describing events related to network interfaces

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/neti.h>
       #include <sys/hook.h>
       #include <sys/hook_event.h>

INTERFACE LEVEL

       Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).

DESCRIPTION

       The  hook_nic_event  structure contains fields that relate to an event that has occurred and belongs to a network interface. This structure
       is passed through to callbacks for NE_PLUMB, NE_UNPLUMB, NE_UP, NE_DOWN and NE_ADDRESS_CHANGE events.

       A callback may not alter any of the fields in this structure.

STRUCTURE MEMBERS

	 net_data_t	      hne_family;
	 phy_if_t	      pkt_private;
	 lif_if_t	      hne_lif;
	 nic_event_t	      hne_event;
	 nic_event_data_t     hne_data;
	 size_t 	      hne_datalen;

       The following fields are set for each event:

       hne_family    A valid reference for the network protocol that owns this network interface and can be in calls to  other	netinfo(9F)  func-
		     tions.

       hne_nic	     The physical interface to which an event belongs.

       hne_event     A value that indicates the respective event. The current list of available events is:

		     NE_PLUMB		  an interface has just been created.

		     NE_UNPLUMB 	  an interface has just been destroyed and no more events should be received for it.

		     NE_UP		  an interface has changed the state to "up" and may now generate packet events.

		     NE_DOWN		  an interface has changed the state to "down" and will no longer generate packet events.

		     NE_ADDRESS_CHANGE	  an  address on an interface has changed. hne_lif refers to the logical interface for which the change is
					  occurring, hne_data is a pointer to a sockaddr structure that is hne_datalen bytes long and contains the
					  new network address.
