A simple routing table implementation for addition, deletion and lookup of IPv6 routes.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
APIs are:
|
|||
|
|
1) s8_t ip6_add_route_entry(struct ip6_prefix *ip6_prefix,
|
|||
|
|
struct netif *netif,
|
|||
|
|
ip6_addr_t *gateway,
|
|||
|
|
s8_t *index);
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2) err_t ip6_remove_route_entry(struct ip6_prefix *ip6_prefix);
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
3) s8_t ip6_find_route_entry(ip6_addr_t *ip6_dest_addr);
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
4) struct netif *ip6_static_route(ip6_addr_t *src, ip6_addr_t *dest);
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
5) ip6_addr_t *ip6_get_gateway(struct netif *netif, ip6_addr_t *dest);
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
6) struct ip6_route_entry *ip6_get_route_table(void);
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For route lookup from the table, The LWIP_HOOK_IP6_ROUTE hook in ip6_route(..) of ip6.c
|
|||
|
|
could be assigned to the ip6_static_route() API of this implementation to return the
|
|||
|
|
appropriate netif.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
-- The application can add routes using the API ip6_add_route_entry(..).
|
|||
|
|
This API adds the ip6 prefix route into the static route table while
|
|||
|
|
keeping all entries sorted in decreasing order of prefix length.
|
|||
|
|
Subsequently, a linear search down the list can be performed to retrieve a
|
|||
|
|
matching route entry for a Longest Prefix Match.
|
|||
|
|
The prefix length is expected to be at an 8-bit boundary. While this is
|
|||
|
|
a limitation, it would serve most practical purposes.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
-- The application can remove routes using the API ip6_remove_route_entry(..).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
-- The application can find a route entry for a specific address using the
|
|||
|
|
ip6_find_route_entry() function which returns the index of the found entry.
|
|||
|
|
This is used internally by the route lookup function ip6_static_route() API.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
-- To fetch the gateway IPv6 address for a specific destination IPv6
|
|||
|
|
address and target netif, the application can call ip6_get_gateway(..).
|
|||
|
|
This API could be assigned to the LWIP_HOOK_ND6_GET_GW() if a gateway has
|
|||
|
|
been added as part of the ip6_add_route_entry().
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
-- To fetch a pointer to the head of the table, the application can call
|
|||
|
|
ip6_get_route_table().
