◆ ipv6_hdr_get_tc_dscp()

static uint8_t ipv6_hdr_get_tc_dscp ( const ipv6_hdr_t * hdr )

inlinestatic

Gets the value of the Differentiated Service Codepoint (DSCP) part of the traffic class field of hdr.

The field is needed e.g. in context of 6LoWPAN header compression

See also: RFC 2474, section 3

Parameters

[in] hdr Pointer to an IPv6 header.

Returns: Value of the DSCP part of the traffic class field of hdr.

Definition at line 234 of file hdr.h.

◆ ipv6_hdr_get_tc_ecn()

static uint8_t ipv6_hdr_get_tc_ecn ( const ipv6_hdr_t * hdr )

inlinestatic

Gets the value of the Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) part of the traffic class field of hdr.

The field is needed e.g. in context of 6LoWPAN header compression

See also: RFC 3168, section 5

Parameters

[in] hdr Pointer to an IPv6 header.

Returns: Value of the ECN part of the traffic class field of hdr.

Definition at line 215 of file hdr.h.

◆ ipv6_hdr_get_version()

static uint8_t ipv6_hdr_get_version ( const ipv6_hdr_t * hdr )

inlinestatic

Gets the value of the version field of hdr.

Parameters

[in] hdr Pointer to an IPv6 header.

Returns: Value of the version field of hdr.

Definition at line 114 of file hdr.h.

◆ ipv6_hdr_inet_csum()

static uint16_t ipv6_hdr_inet_csum	(	uint16_t	sum,
		ipv6_hdr_t *	hdr,
		uint8_t	prot_num,
		uint16_t	len
	)

inlinestatic

Calculates the Internet Checksum for the IPv6 Pseudo Header.

See also: RFC 8200, section 8.1

Parameters

[in]	sum	Preinialized value of the sum.
[in]	prot_num	The Protocol Numbers you want to calculate the checksum for. Can not be inferred from ipv6_hdr_t::nh, since it can be an IPv6 exentension header.
[in]	hdr	An IPv6 header to derive the Pseudo Header from.
[in]	len	The upper-layer packet length for the pseudo header. Can not be inferred from ipv6_hdr_t::len, since there can be extension headers between the IPv6 header and the payload.

Returns: The non-normalized Internet Checksum of the given IPv6 pseudo header.

Definition at line 283 of file hdr.h.
