Folks,
Over in src/vnet/interface.api, round-about lines 162-182,
we find this excerpt:
/** \brief Set or delete one or all ip addresses on a specified interface
@param client_index - opaque cookie to identify the sender
@param context - sender context, to match reply w/ request
@param sw_if_index - index of the interface to add/del addresses
@param is_add - add address if non-zero, else delete
@param is_ipv6 - if non-zero the address is ipv6, else ipv4
@param del_all - if non-zero delete all addresses on the interface
@param address_length - address length in bytes, 4 for ip4, 16 for ip6
@param address - array of address bytes
*/
define sw_interface_add_del_address
{
u32 client_index;
u32 context;
u32 sw_if_index;
u8 is_add;
u8 is_ipv6;
u8 del_all;
u8 address_length;
u8 address[16];
};
My question is address_length. The doc says it is the
address length of 4 or 16 bytes as per IPv4/6-ness.
However, I think it is really the netmask prefix
length, more like, say, 16, 24, or 32.
Right?
Thanks,
jdl
