Struct Ipv6Header 

pub struct Ipv6Header {
    pub source: Ipv6Addr,
    pub destination: Ipv6Addr,
    pub next_header: IpProtocol,
    pub hop_limit: u8,
    pub traffic_class: u8,
    /* private fields */
}

Available on crate feature net only.

IPv6 base-header fields for construction; extension headers are supplied in the payload.

Fields

source: Ipv6Addr

Source address.

destination: Ipv6Addr

Destination address.

next_header: IpProtocol

First extension header or upper-layer protocol.

hop_limit: u8

Hop Limit.

traffic_class: u8

DSCP and ECN bits.

Implementations

impl Ipv6Header

pub const fn new( source: Ipv6Addr, destination: Ipv6Addr, next_header: IpProtocol, ) -> Ipv6Header

A header with hop limit 64, zero flow label and no ECN/DSCP.

pub const fn try_with_flow_label( self, flow_label: u32, ) -> Result<Ipv6Header, IpPacketError>

Set the twenty-bit IPv6 flow label.

pub const fn flow_label(&self) -> u32

The configured IPv6 flow label.

pub fn encode( &self, payload: &[u8], output: &mut [u8], ) -> Result<usize, IpPacketError>

Serialize a base header and payload. This does not validate extension bytes: use Ipv6Packet::parse to validate a complete packet built from raw extensions. The output is untouched when the base fields or buffer length are invalid.

pub fn encode_header<'b>( &self, payload_len: usize, output: &'b mut [u8], ) -> Result<&'b mut [u8], IpPacketError>

Write the IPv6 base header and return its payload region for in-place encoding.

Trait Implementations

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Copy for Ipv6Header

impl Debug for Ipv6Header

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result<(), Error>
