(eui64_t) get the IPv6 interface identifier of a network interface

See also
RFC 4291, section 2.5.1
Note
Do not implement this in a network device driver. Other APIs utilizing netopt such as Network interface API or Network interfaces may still implement it.

The generation of the interface identifier is dependent on the link-layer. Please refer to the appropriate IPv6 over <link> specification for further implementation details (such as RFC 2464 or RFC 4944).

NETOPT_IPV6_ADDR 

(ipv6_addr_t[]) get IPv6 addresses of an interface as array of ipv6_addr_t or add an IPv6 address as ipv6_addr_t to an interface

When adding an IPv6 address to a GNRC interface using GNRC_NETAPI_MSG_TYPE_SET, the gnrc_netapi_opt_t::context field can be used to pass the prefix length (8 MSB) and some flags (8 LSB) according to net_gnrc_netif_ipv6_addrs_flags. The address is however always considered to be manually added. When getting the option you can pass an array of ipv6_addr_t of any length greater than 0 to the getter. The array will be filled up to to its maximum and the remaining addresses on the interface will be ignored

NETOPT_IPV6_ADDR_REMOVE 

(ipv6_addr_t) Removes an IPv6 address from an interface

NETOPT_IPV6_ADDR_FLAGS 

(array of uint8_t) get the flags to the addresses returned by NETOPT_IPV6_ADDR as array

The information contained in the array is very specific to the interface's API. For GNRC e.g. the values are according to net_gnrc_netif_ipv6_addrs_flags.

NETOPT_IPV6_GROUP 

(ipv6_addr_t) get IPv6 multicast groups of an interface as array of ipv6_addr_t or join an IPv6 multicast group as ipv6_addr_t on an interface

When adding an IPv6 address to a GNRC interface using GNRC_NETAPI_MSG_TYPE_SET, the gnrc_netapi_opt_t::context field can be used to pass the prefix length (8 MSB) and some flags (8 LSB) according to net_gnrc_netif_ipv6_addrs_flags. The address is however always considered to be manually added. When getting the option you can pass an array of ipv6_addr_t of any length greater than 0 to the getter. The array will be filled up to to its maximum and the remaining addresses on the interface will be ignored

NETOPT_IPV6_GROUP_LEAVE

NETOPT_MAX_PDU_SIZE 

(uint16_t) maximum protocol data unit

NETOPT_PDU_SIZE 

(uint16_t) protocol data unit size

When set, fixes the number of bytes to be received. This is required for MAC layers with implicit header mode (no packet length information in PDDU) and predictable packet length (e.g LoRaWAN beacons). The device driver implementation should attempt to read exactly the expected number of bytes (possibly filling it up with garbage data if the payload is smaller).

When get, returns the number of expected bytes for the next reception.

In some MAC layers it will only be effective if used in conjunction with NETOPT_FIXED_HEADER

NETOPT_PRELOADING 

(netopt_enable_t) frame preloading

Preload frame data using gnrc_netdev_driver_t::send_data() or gnrc_netapi_send(), trigger sending by setting state to NETOPT_STATE_TX

(netopt_enable_t) promiscuous mode

NETOPT_AUTOACK 

(netopt_enable_t) automatic link layer ACKs

NETOPT_ACK_PENDING

For IEEE 802.15.4, this bit is copied into the frame pending subfield of the ACK if it is the response to a data request MAC command frame.

NETOPT_ACK_REQ 

(netopt_enable_t) acknowledgement request on outgoing frames

For IEEE 802.15.4, this bit is copied into the ACK req subfield of the frame control field.

(uint8_t) maximum number of retransmissions

NETOPT_PROTO 

(gnrc_nettype_t) the protocol for the layer

NETOPT_STATE

It is mostly triggered after the preamble is correctly received

Note
not all transceivers may support this interrupt
NETOPT_RX_END_IRQ 

(netopt_enable_t) trigger interrupt after frame reception

This interrupt is triggered after a complete frame is received.

Note
in case a transceiver does not support this interrupt, the event may be triggered by the driver
NETOPT_TX_START_IRQ 

(netopt_enable_t) trigger interrupt at transmission start

This interrupt is triggered when the transceiver starts to send out the frame.

Note
in case a transceiver does not support this interrupt, the event may be triggered by the driver
NETOPT_TX_END_IRQ 

(netopt_enable_t) trigger interrupt after frame transmission

This interrupt is triggered when the full frame has been transmitted.

Note
not all transceivers may support this interrupt
NETOPT_AUTOCCA 

(netopt_enable_t) perform channel clear assessment before transmitting

This may be a hardware feature of the given transceiver, or might be otherwise implemented in software. If the device supports CSMA this option will enable CSMA with a certain set of parameters to emulate the desired behaviour.

Note
Be sure not to set NETOPT_CSMA simultaneously.
Todo:
How to get feedback?
NETOPT_LINK

Note
On error this option should return a negative number.
NETOPT_CSMA

If the device supports CSMA in hardware, this option enables it with default parameters. For further configuration refer to the other NETOPT_CSMA_* options.

NETOPT_CSMA_RETRIES 

(uint8_t) maximum number of CSMA retries

The maximum number of backoffs the CSMA-CA algorithm will attempt before declaring a channel access failure. Named macMaxCsmaBackoffs in IEEE Std 802.15.4-2015.

NETOPT_CSMA_MAXBE 

(uint8_t) maximum backoff exponent for the CSMA-CA algorithm

Named macMinBE in IEEE Std 802.15.4-2015.

IEEE 802.15.4 default: 3

NETOPT_MAC_NO_SLEEP 

(netopt_enable_t) block transceiver sleep

Enabling this option tells the MAC layer to never put the radio to sleep. Useful in gateways and routers not running on batteries to improve responsiveness and allow battery powered nodes on the same network to sleep more often.

NETOPT_IS_WIRED 

(netopt_enable_t) read-only check for a wired interface.

This option will return -ENOTSUP for wireless interfaces.

Note
Setting this option will always return -ENOTSUP.

NETOPT_CHANNEL_PAGE 

(uint16_t) channel page as defined by IEEE 802.15.4

NETOPT_CCA_THRESHOLD 

(int8_t) CCA threshold for the radio transceiver

This is the value, in dBm, that the radio transceiver uses to decide whether the channel is clear or not (CCA). If the current signal strength (RSSI/ED) is stronger than this CCA threshold value, the transceiver usually considers that the radio medium is busy. Otherwise, i.e. if RSSI/ED value is less than the CCA threshold value, the radio medium is supposed to be free (the possibly received weak signal is considered to be background, meaningless noise).

Most transceivers allow to set this CCA threshold value. Some research work has proven that dynamically adapting it to network environment can improve QoS, especially in WSN.

NETOPT_CCA_MODE 

(uint8_t) CCA mode for the radio transceiver

Get/set the CCA mode corresponding to the respective PHY standard.

NETOPT_ENCRYPTION_KEY 

(byte array) set encryption key

The required byte array size is dependent on encryption algorithm and device.

NETOPT_RF_TESTMODE 

(netopt_rf_testmode_t) Test mode for the radio, e.g.

for CE or FCC certification

Get/set the test mode as type netopt_rf_testmode_t or as uint8_t if the radio supports other vendor specific test modes.

Note
Setting this option should always return -ENOTSUP, unless it was explicitly allowed at build time, therefore it should be secured with an additional macro in the device driver.
Attention
For development and certification purposes only! These test modes can disturb normal radio communications and exceed the limits established by the regulatory authority.
NETOPT_L2FILTER 

(l2filter_t) add an address to a link layer filter list

Getting this option from a device will return a pointer of type l2filter_t to the first entry of a filter list. When setting this option a pointer to an link layer address as well as the length of the address are expected as parameters.

NETOPT_L2FILTER_RM 

(l2filter_t) remove an address from a link layer filter list

Getting this value always returns -ENOTSUP. When setting this option a pointer to an link layer address as well as the length of the address are expected as parameters. Setting this option will lead to the given address being removed from the filer list.

NETOPT_LAST_ED_LEVEL 

(int8_t) Energy level during the last performed CCA or RX frame
