Member Function Documentation

static Mac48Address ns3::Mac48Address::Allocate

(

void

)

[static]

Allocate a new Mac48Address.

static Mac48Address ns3::Mac48Address::ConvertFrom

(

const Address &

address

)

[static]

Parameters:

address

a polymorphic address

Returns:

a new Mac48Address from the polymorphic address

This function performs a type check and asserts if the type of the input address is not compatible with an Mac48Address.

void ns3::Mac48Address::CopyFrom

(

const uint8_t

buffer[6]

)

Parameters:

buffer

address in network order

Copy the input address to our internal buffer.

void ns3::Mac48Address::CopyTo

(

uint8_t

buffer[6]

)

const

Parameters:

buffer

address in network order

Copy the internal address to the input buffer.

static Mac48Address ns3::Mac48Address::GetBroadcast

(

void

)

[static]

Returns:

the broadcast address

static Mac48Address ns3::Mac48Address::GetMulticast

(

Ipv6Address

address

)

[static]

Get multicast address from IPv6 address.

Parameters:

address

base IPv6 address

Returns:

a multicast address

static Mac48Address ns3::Mac48Address::GetMulticast

(

Ipv4Address

address

)

[static]

Parameters:

address

base IPv4 address

Returns:

a multicast address

static Mac48Address ns3::Mac48Address::GetMulticast6Prefix

(

void

)

[static]

Get the multicast prefix for IPv6 (33:33:00:00:00:00).

Returns:

a multicast address.

static Mac48Address ns3::Mac48Address::GetMulticastPrefix

(

void

)

[static]

Returns:

the multicast prefix (01:00:5e:00:00:00).

bool ns3::Mac48Address::IsBroadcast

(

void

)

const

Returns:

true if this is a broadcast address, false otherwise.

bool ns3::Mac48Address::IsGroup

(

void

)

const

Returns:

true if the group bit is set, false otherwise.

static bool ns3::Mac48Address::IsMatchingType

(

const Address &

address

)

[static]

Parameters:

address

address to test

Returns:

true if the address matches, false otherwise.

ns3::Mac48Address::operator Address

(

)

const

Returns:

a new Address instance

Convert an instance of this class to a polymorphic Address instance.
