netif Struct Reference

Generic data structure used for all lwIP network interfaces.

The following fields should be filled in by the initialization function for the device driver: hwaddr_len, hwaddr[], mtu, flags

#include <netif.h>

netif_linkoutput_fn netif::linkoutput

This function is called by the ARP module when it wants to send a packet on the interface.

This function outputs the pbuf as-is on the link medium.

u16_t netif::mtu

maximum transfer unit (in bytes)

netif_output_fn netif::output

This function is called by the IP module when it wants to send a packet on the interface.

This function typically first resolves the hardware address, then sends the packet.

void * netif::state

This field can be set by the device driver and could point to state information for the device.
