Macro Definition Documentation

GNRC_IPV6_EXT_FRAG_CONTINUE

#define GNRC_IPV6_EXT_FRAG_CONTINUE   (0xfe01U)

Message type to continue fragmenting a datagram from a given fragmentation send buffer.

Expected type: gnrc_ipv6_ext_frag_send_t

Definition at line 46 of file frag.h.

GNRC_IPV6_EXT_FRAG_SEND

#define GNRC_IPV6_EXT_FRAG_SEND   (0xfe02U)

Message type to send a fragment of an IPv6 datagram.

Expected type: gnrc_pktsnip_t

Definition at line 53 of file frag.h.

Function Documentation

gnrc_ipv6_ext_frag_rbuf_del()

static void gnrc_ipv6_ext_frag_rbuf_del ( gnrc_ipv6_ext_frag_rbuf_t *  rbuf )

inlinestatic

Delete a reassembly buffer entry (and release its gnrc_ipv6_ext_frag_rbuf_t::pkt)

Note

May be used by the IPv6 thread to remove a timed out reassembly buffer entry.

Parameters

[in]

rbuf

A reassembly buffer entry.

Definition at line 185 of file frag.h.

gnrc_ipv6_ext_frag_rbuf_free()

void gnrc_ipv6_ext_frag_rbuf_free

(

gnrc_ipv6_ext_frag_rbuf_t *

rbuf

)

Frees a reassembly buffer entry (but does not release its gnrc_ipv6_ext_frag_rbuf_t::pkt)

Parameters

[in]

rbuf

A reassembly buffer entry.

gnrc_ipv6_ext_frag_rbuf_gc()

void gnrc_ipv6_ext_frag_rbuf_gc

(

void

)

Garbage-collect reassembly buffer.

This calls gnrc_ipv6_ext_frag_rbuf_del() for all reassembly buffer entries for which * gnrc_ipv6_ext_frag_rbuf_t::arrival is CONFIG_GNRC_IPV6_EXT_FRAG_RBUF_TIMEOUT_US in the past.

gnrc_ipv6_ext_frag_reass()

gnrc_pktsnip_t* gnrc_ipv6_ext_frag_reass

(

gnrc_pktsnip_t *

pkt

)

Reassemble fragmented IPv6 packet.

Parameters

[in]

pkt

A fragment of the IPv6 packet to be reassembled containing the fragment header in the first snip.

Returns

The reassembled packet when pkt completed the reassembly

NULL, when there are still fragments missing or an error occurred during reassembly

gnrc_ipv6_ext_frag_send()

void gnrc_ipv6_ext_frag_send

(

gnrc_ipv6_ext_frag_send_t *

snd_buf

)

(Continue to) fragment packet already in fragmentation send buffer

Precondition

snd_buf != NULL

Parameters

[in,out]

snd_buf

A fragmentation send buffer entry. May not be NULL.

gnrc_ipv6_ext_frag_send_pkt()

void gnrc_ipv6_ext_frag_send_pkt	(	gnrc_pktsnip_t *	pkt,
		unsigned	path_mtu
	)

Send an IPv6 packet fragmented.

Parameters

[in]	pkt	The IPv6 packet. The packet must have an already prepared GNRC_NETTYPE_NETIF snip as its first snip. The packet must contain at least an IPv6 header and any number of IPv6 extension headers after that.
[in]	path_mtu	Path MTU to destination of IPv6 packet.

gnrc_ipv6_ext_frag_stats()

gnrc_ipv6_ext_frag_stats_t* gnrc_ipv6_ext_frag_stats

(

void

)

Get the current statistics on reassembly and fragmentation.

Returns

The current statistics on reassembly and fragmentation.

NULL, if module gnrc_ipv6_ext_frag_stats is not compiled in.
