Macro Definition Documentation

◆ GNRC_NETIF_HDR_FLAGS_BROADCAST

#define GNRC_NETIF_HDR_FLAGS_BROADCAST (0x80)

Packets with this flag set must be send broadcast. gnrc_netif_hdr_t::dst_l2addr_len and any appended destination address must be ignored. If the link layer does not support broadcast the packet must be dropped silently.

Definition at line 59 of file gnrc/netif/hdr.h.

◆ GNRC_NETIF_HDR_FLAGS_MULTICAST

#define GNRC_NETIF_HDR_FLAGS_MULTICAST (0x40)

Packets with this flag set must be send multicast. gnrc_netif_hdr_t::dst_l2addr_len and any appended destination address must be ignored. The context for the multicast address must be derived from the network layer destination address. If the link layer does not support multicast it should interpret this flag the same way it does GNRC_NETIF_HDR_FLAGS_BROADCAST.
