Detailed Description

Abstract base class for IPv6 routing protocols.


Introspection did not find any typical Config paths.

Defines two virtual functions for packet routing and forwarding. The first, RouteOutput (), is used for locally originated packets, and the second, RouteInput (), is used for forwarding and/or delivering received packets. Also defines the signatures of four callbacks used in RouteInput ().


No Attributes are defined for this type.
No TraceSources are defined for this type.
Size of this type is 32 bytes (on a 64-bit architecture).

+ Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ NotifyAddAddress()

virtual void ns3::Ipv6RoutingProtocol::NotifyAddAddress ( uint32_t  interface,
Ipv6InterfaceAddress  address 
)
pure virtual

Notify when specified interface add an address.

Protocols are expected to implement this method to be notified whenever a new address is added to an interface. Typically used to add a 'network route' on an interface. Can be invoked on an up or down interface.

Parameters
interfacethe index of the interface we are being notified about
addressa new address being added to an interface

Implemented in ns3::Ipv6StaticRouting, ns3::RipNg, ns3::Ipv6ListRouting, Ipv6BRouting, and Ipv6ARouting.

◆ NotifyAddRoute()

virtual void ns3::Ipv6RoutingProtocol::NotifyAddRoute ( Ipv6Address  dst,
Ipv6Prefix  mask,
Ipv6Address  nextHop,
uint32_t  interface,
Ipv6Address  prefixToUse = Ipv6Address::GetZero() 
)
pure virtual

Notify a new route.

Typically this is used to add another route from IPv6 stack (i.e. ICMPv6 redirect case, ...).

Parameters
dstdestination address
maskdestination mask
nextHopnextHop for this destination
interfaceoutput interface
prefixToUseprefix to use as source with this route

Implemented in ns3::Ipv6StaticRouting, ns3::RipNg, ns3::Ipv6ListRouting, Ipv6BRouting, and Ipv6ARouting.

◆ NotifyInterfaceDown()

virtual void ns3::Ipv6RoutingProtocol::NotifyInterfaceDown ( uint32_t  interface)

Notify when specified interface goes DOWN.

Protocols are expected to implement this method to be notified of the state change of an interface in a node.

Parameters
interfacethe index of the interface we are being notified about

MulticastForwardCallback  mcb,
LocalDeliverCallback  lcb,
ErrorCallback  ecb 
)
pure virtual

Route an input packet (to be forwarded or locally delivered)

This lookup is used in the forwarding process. The packet is handed over to the Ipv6RoutingProtocol, and will get forwarded onward by one of the callbacks. The Linux equivalent is ip_route_input (). There are four valid outcomes, and a matching callbacks to handle each.

Parameters
preceived packet
headerinput parameter used to form a search key for a route
idevPointer to ingress network device
ucbCallback for the case in which the packet is to be forwarded as unicast
mcbCallback for the case in which the packet is to be forwarded as multicast
lcbCallback for the case in which the packet is to be locally delivered
ecbCallback to call if there is an error in forwarding
Returns
true if the Ipv6RoutingProtocol takes responsibility for forwarding or delivering the packet, false otherwise

Implemented in ns3::Ipv6StaticRouting, ns3::RipNg, ns3::Ipv6ListRouting, Ipv6BRouting, and Ipv6ARouting.

◆ RouteOutput()

virtual Ptr<Ipv6Route> ns3::Ipv6RoutingProtocol::RouteOutput ( Ptr< Packet p,
const Ipv6Header header,
Ptr< NetDevice oif,
Socket::SocketErrno sockerr 
)
pure virtual

Query routing cache for an existing route, for an outbound packet.

This lookup is used by transport protocols. It does not cause any packet to be forwarded, and is synchronous. Can be used for multicast or unicast. The Linux equivalent is ip_route_output ()

Parameters
ppacket to be routed. Note that this method may modify the packet. Callers may also pass in a null pointer.
headerinput parameter (used to form key to search for the route)
oifOutput interface device. May be zero, or may be bound via socket options to a particular output interface.
sockerrOutput parameter; socket errno
Returns
a code that indicates what happened in the lookup

Implemented in ns3::Ipv6StaticRouting, ns3::RipNg, ns3::Ipv6ListRouting, Ipv6BRouting, and Ipv6ARouting.

◆ SetIpv6()

virtual void ns3::Ipv6RoutingProtocol::SetIpv6 ( Ptr< Ipv6 ipv6)

Typically, invoked directly or indirectly from ns3::Ipv6::SetRoutingProtocol.

Parameters
ipv6the ipv6 object this routing protocol is being associated with
