 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.
