etharp.c File Reference

Address Resolution Protocol module for IP over Ethernet.

Functionally, ARP is divided into two parts. The first maps an IP address to a physical address when sending a packet, and the second part answers requests from other machines for our physical address.

This implementation complies with RFC 826 (Ethernet ARP). It supports Gratuitious ARP from RFC3220 (IP Mobility Support for IPv4) section 4.6 if an interface calls etharp_gratuitous(our_netif) upon address change.

)
static

Search the ARP table for a matching or new entry.

If an IP address is given, return a pending or stable ARP entry that matches the address. If no match is found, create a new entry with this address set, but in state ETHARP_EMPTY. The caller must check and possibly change the state of the returned entry.

If ipaddr is NULL, return a initialized new entry in state ETHARP_EMPTY.

In all cases, attempt to create new entries from an empty entry. If no empty entries are available and ETHARP_FLAG_TRY_HARD flag is set, recycle old entries. Heuristic choose the least important entry for recycling.

Parameters
ipaddrIP address to find in ARP cache, or to add if not found.
flags

Parameters
netifnetif related to this address (used for NETIF_HWADDRHINT)
Returns
The ARP entry index that matched or is created, ERR_MEM if no entry is found or could be recycled.

a) do a search through the cache, remember candidates b) select candidate entry c) create new entry

err_t etharp_output ( struct netif netif,
struct pbuf q,
ip_addr_t ipaddr 
)

Resolve and fill-in Ethernet address header for outgoing IP packet.

For IP multicast and broadcast, corresponding Ethernet addresses are selected and the packet is transmitted on the link.

For unicast addresses, the packet is submitted to etharp_query(). In case the IP address is outside the local network, the IP address of the gateway is used.

Parameters
netifThe lwIP network interface which the IP packet will be sent on.
qThe pbuf(s) containing the IP packet to be sent.
ipaddrThe IP address of the packet destination.
Returns

err_t etharp_query ( struct netif netif,
ip_addr_t ipaddr,
struct pbuf q 
)

Send an ARP request for the given IP address and/or queue a packet.

If the IP address was not yet in the cache, a pending ARP cache entry is added and an ARP request is sent for the given address. The packet is queued on this entry.

If the IP address was already pending in the cache, a new ARP request is sent for the given address. The packet is queued on this entry.

If the IP address was already stable in the cache, and a packet is given, it is directly sent and no ARP request is sent out.

If the IP address was already stable in the cache, and no packet is given, an ARP request is sent out.

Parameters
netifThe lwIP network interface on which ipaddr must be queried for.
ipaddrThe IP address to be resolved.
qIf non-NULL, a pbuf that must be delivered to the IP address. q is not freed by this function.
Note
q must only be ONE packet, not a packet queue!
Returns
  • ERR_BUF Could not make room for Ethernet header.
  • ERR_MEM Hardware address unknown, and no more ARP entries available to query for address or queue the packet.
  • ERR_MEM Could not queue packet due to memory shortage.
  • ERR_RTE No route to destination (no gateway to external networks).
  • ERR_ARG Non-unicast address given, those will not appear in ARP cache.
