Detailed Description

Function Documentation

otPlatInfraIfDiscoverNat64Prefix()

otError otPlatInfraIfDiscoverNat64Prefix ( uint32_t aInfraIfIndex )

Send a request to discover the NAT64 prefix on the infrastructure interface with aInfraIfIndex .

OpenThread will call this method periodically to monitor the presence or change of NAT64 prefix.

Parameters
[in] aInfraIfIndex The index of the infrastructure interface to discover the NAT64 prefix.
Return values
OT_ERROR_NONE Successfully request NAT64 prefix discovery.
OT_ERROR_FAILED Failed to request NAT64 prefix discovery.

otPlatInfraIfDiscoverNat64PrefixDone()

void otPlatInfraIfDiscoverNat64PrefixDone ( otInstance * aInstance,
uint32_t aInfraIfIndex,
const otIp6Prefix * aIp6Prefix
)

The infra interface driver calls this method to notify OpenThread that the discovery of NAT64 prefix is done.

This method is expected to be invoked after calling otPlatInfraIfDiscoverNat64Prefix. If no NAT64 prefix is discovered, aIp6Prefix shall point to an empty prefix with zero length.

Parameters
[in] aInstance The OpenThread instance structure.
[in] aInfraIfIndex The index of the infrastructure interface on which the NAT64 prefix is discovered.
[in] aIp6Prefix A pointer to NAT64 prefix.

otPlatInfraIfHasAddress()

bool otPlatInfraIfHasAddress ( uint32_t aInfraIfIndex,
const otIp6Address * aAddress
)

This method tells whether an infra interface has the given IPv6 address assigned.

Parameters
[in] aInfraIfIndex The index of the infra interface.
[in] aAddress The IPv6 address.
Returns
TRUE if the infra interface has given IPv6 address assigned, FALSE otherwise.

otPlatInfraIfRecvIcmp6Nd()

void otPlatInfraIfRecvIcmp6Nd ( otInstance * aInstance,
uint32_t aInfraIfIndex,
const otIp6Address * aSrcAddress,
const uint8_t * aBuffer,
uint16_t aBufferLength
)

The infra interface driver calls this method to notify OpenThread that an ICMPv6 Neighbor Discovery message is received.

See RFC 4861: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4861 .

Parameters
[in] aInstance The OpenThread instance structure.
[in] aInfraIfIndex The index of the infrastructure interface on which the ICMPv6 message is received.
[in] aSrcAddress The source address this message is received from.
[in] aBuffer The ICMPv6 message buffer.
[in] aBufferLength The length of the ICMPv6 message buffer.
Note
Per RFC 4861, the caller should enforce that the source address MUST be a IPv6 link-local address and the IP Hop Limit MUST be 255.

otPlatInfraIfSendIcmp6Nd()

otError otPlatInfraIfSendIcmp6Nd ( uint32_t aInfraIfIndex,
const otIp6Address * aDestAddress,
const uint8_t * aBuffer,
uint16_t aBufferLength
)

This method sends an ICMPv6 Neighbor Discovery message on given infrastructure interface.

See RFC 4861: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4861 .

Parameters
[in] aInfraIfIndex The index of the infrastructure interface this message is sent to.
[in] aDestAddress The destination address this message is sent to.
[in] aBuffer The ICMPv6 message buffer. The ICMPv6 checksum is left zero and the platform should do the checksum calculate.
[in] aBufferLength The length of the message buffer.
Note
Per RFC 4861, the implementation should send the message with IPv6 link-local source address of interface aInfraIfIndex and IP Hop Limit 255.
Return values
OT_ERROR_NONE Successfully sent the ICMPv6 message.
OT_ERROR_FAILED Failed to send the ICMPv6 message.

otPlatInfraIfStateChanged()

otError otPlatInfraIfStateChanged ( otInstance * aInstance,
uint32_t aInfraIfIndex,
bool aIsRunning
)

The infra interface driver calls this method to notify OpenThread of the interface state changes.

It is fine for the platform to call to method even when the running state of the interface hasn't changed. In this case, the Routing Manager state is not affected.

Parameters
[in] aInstance The OpenThread instance structure.
[in] aInfraIfIndex The index of the infrastructure interface.
[in] aIsRunning A boolean that indicates whether the infrastructure interface is running.
Return values
OT_ERROR_NONE Successfully updated the infra interface status.
OT_ERROR_INVALID_STATE The Routing Manager is not initialized.
OT_ERROR_INVALID_ARGS The aInfraIfIndex doesn't match the infra interface the Routing Manager are initialized with.
