val local : now:time -> random:(int -> Cstruct.t) -> Macaddr.t -> context * (Macaddr.t * int * (buffer -> int)) list
local ~now ~random mac
is a pair ctx, outs
where ctx
is a local IPv6 context associated to the hardware address mac
. outs
is a list of ethif packets to be sent.
add_ip ~now ctx ip
is ctx', outs
where ctx'
is ctx
updated with a new local ip and outs
is a list of ethif packets to be sent.
select_source ctx ip
returns the ip that should be put in the source field of a packet destined to ip
.
val handle : now:time -> random:(int -> Cstruct.t) -> context -> buffer -> context * (Macaddr.t * int * (buffer -> int)) list * event list
handle ~now ~random ctx buf
handles an incoming ipv6 packet. It returns ctx', bufs, evs
where ctx'
is the updated context, bufs
is a list of packets to be sent and evs
is a list of packets to be passed to the higher layers (udp, tcp, etc) for further processing.
val send : now:time -> context -> ipaddr -> Mirage_protocols.Ip.proto -> int -> (buffer -> buffer -> int) -> context * (Macaddr.t * int * (buffer -> int)) list
send ~now ctx ip proto size fillf
starts route resolution and assembles an ipv6 packet of size
for sending with header and body passed to fillf
. It returns a pair ctx', dst_size_fills
where ctx'
is the updated context and dst, size, fillf
is a list of packets to be sent, specified by destination, their size, and fill function.
tick ~now ctx
should be called periodically (every 1s is good). It returns ctx', bufs
where ctx'
is the updated context and bufs
is a list of packets to be sent.
add_prefix ~now ctx pfx
adds a local prefix to ctx
.
get_prefix ctx
returns the list of local prefixes known to ctx
.
add_routers ~now ctx ips
adds a list of gateways to ctx
to be used for routing.
