A call to this function will remove and replace any previous "DNS/SRP Service" entry that was being published (from earlier call to any of otNetDataPublishDnsSrpService{Type}() functions).

Unlike otNetDataPublishDnsSrpServiceUnicast() which requires the published address to be given and includes the info in the Service TLV data, this function uses the device's mesh-local EID and includes the info in the Server TLV data.

otNetDataIsDnsSrpServiceAdded#

bool otNetDataIsDnsSrpServiceAdded (otInstance * aInstance)

This function indicates whether or not currently the "DNS/SRP Service" entry is added to the Thread Network Data.

This function requires the feature OPENTHREAD_CONFIG_TMF_NETDATA_SERVICE_ENABLE to be enabled.

otNetDataSetDnsSrpServicePublisherCallback#

void otNetDataSetDnsSrpServicePublisherCallback (otInstance * aInstance, otNetDataDnsSrpServicePublisherCallback aCallback, void * aContext)

This function sets a callback for notifying when a published "DNS/SRP Service" is actually added to or removed from the Thread Network Data.

A subsequent call to this function replaces any previously set callback function.

This function requires the feature OPENTHREAD_CONFIG_TMF_NETDATA_SERVICE_ENABLE to be enabled.

otNetDataUnpublishDnsSrpService#

void otNetDataUnpublishDnsSrpService (otInstance * aInstance)

Unpublishes any previously added DNS/SRP (Anycast or Unicast) Service entry from the Thread Network Data.

OPENTHREAD_CONFIG_TMF_NETDATA_SERVICE_ENABLE must be enabled.

otNetDataPublishOnMeshPrefix#

otError otNetDataPublishOnMeshPrefix (otInstance * aInstance, const otBorderRouterConfig * aConfig)

This function requests an on-mesh prefix to be published in the Thread Network Data.

This function requires the feature OPENTHREAD_CONFIG_BORDER_ROUTER_ENABLE to be enabled.

Only stable entries can be published (i.e.,aConfig.mStable MUST be TRUE).

A subsequent call to this method will replace a previous request for the same prefix. In particular, if the new call only changes the flags (e.g., preference level) and the prefix is already added in the Network Data, the change to flags is immediately reflected in the Network Data. This ensures that existing entries in the Network Data are not abruptly removed. Note that a change in the preference level can potentially later cause the entry to be removed from the Network Data after determining there are other nodes that are publishing the same prefix with the same or higher preference.

otNetDataPublishExternalRoute#

otError otNetDataPublishExternalRoute (otInstance * aInstance, const otExternalRouteConfig * aConfig)

This function requests an external route prefix to be published in the Thread Network Data.

This function requires the feature OPENTHREAD_CONFIG_BORDER_ROUTER_ENABLE to be enabled.

Only stable entries can be published (i.e.,aConfig.mStable MUST be TRUE).

A subsequent call to this method will replace a previous request for the same prefix. In particular, if the new call only changes the flags (e.g., preference level) and the prefix is already added in the Network Data, the change to flags is immediately reflected in the Network Data. This ensures that existing entries in the Network Data are not abruptly removed. Note that a change in the preference level can potentially later cause the entry to be removed from the Network Data after determining there are other nodes that are publishing the same prefix with the same or higher preference.

otNetDataReplacePublishedExternalRoute#

otError otNetDataReplacePublishedExternalRoute (otInstance * aInstance, const otIp6Prefix * aPrefix, const otExternalRouteConfig * aConfig)

This function replaces a previously published external route in the Thread Network Data.

This function requires the feature OPENTHREAD_CONFIG_BORDER_ROUTER_ENABLE to be enabled.

If there is no previously published external route matching aPrefix, this function behaves similarly to otNetDataPublishExternalRoute(), i.e., it will start the process of publishing aConfig as an external route in the Thread Network Data.

If there is a previously published route entry matching aPrefix, it will be replaced with the new prefix from aConfig.

• If the aPrefix was already added in the Network Data, the change to the new prefix in aConfig is immediately reflected in the Network Data. This ensures that route entries in the Network Data are not abruptly removed and the transition from aPrefix to the new prefix is smooth.

• If the old published aPrefix was not added in the Network Data, it will be replaced with the new aConfig prefix but it will not be immediately added. Instead, it will start the process of publishing it in the Network Data (monitoring the Network Data to determine when/if to add the prefix, depending on the number of similar prefixes present in the Network Data).

otNetDataIsPrefixAdded#

bool otNetDataIsPrefixAdded (otInstance * aInstance, const otIp6Prefix * aPrefix)

This function indicates whether or not currently a published prefix entry (on-mesh or external route) is added to the Thread Network Data.
