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.
