Detailed Description

This class is used to store a routing entry.

 StaticRoute (bool unicast, bool multicast, const IPv4Net& network, const IPv4& nexthop, const string& ifname, const string& vifname, uint32_t metric)

StaticRoute

Constructor for a given IPv4 static route.

Parameters:

unicastif true, then the route would be used for unicast routing.
multicastif true, then the route would be used in the MRIB (Multicast Routing Information Base) for multicast purpose (e.g., computing the Reverse-Path Forwarding information).
networkthe network address prefix this route applies to.
nexthopthe address of the next-hop router for this route.
ifnameof the name of the physical interface toward the destination.
vifnameof the name of the virtual interface toward the destination.
metricthe metric distance for this route.
 StaticRoute (bool unicast, bool multicast, const IPv6Net& network, const IPv6& nexthop, const string& ifname, const string& vifname, uint32_t metric)

StaticRoute

Constructor for a given IPv6 static route.

Parameters:

unicastif true, then the route would be used for unicast routing.
multicastif true, then the route would be used in the MRIB (Multicast Routing Information Base) for multicast purpose (e.g., computing the Reverse-Path Forwarding information).
networkthe network address prefix this route applies to.
nexthopthe address of the next-hop router for this route.
ifnameof the name of the physical interface toward the destination.
vifnameof the name of the virtual interface toward the destination.
metricthe metric distance for this route.

operator==

Equality Operator

Parameters:

otherthe right-hand operand to compare against.

Returns: true if the left-hand operand is numerically same as the right-hand operand.

is_ipv4

[const]

Test if this is an IPv4 route.

Returns: true if this is an IPv4 route, otherwise false.

bool  is_ipv6 ()

is_ipv6

[const]

Test if this is an IPv6 route.

Returns: true if this is an IPv6 route, otherwise false.

bool  unicast ()

unicast

[const]

Test if this route would be used for unicast routing.

Returns: true if this route would be used for unicast routing, otherwise false.

bool  multicast ()

multicast

[const]

Test if this route would be used for multicast routing.

Returns: true if this route would be used for multicast routing, otherwise false.

const IPvXNet&  network ()

network

[const]

Get the network address prefix this route applies to.

Returns: the network address prefix this route appies to.

const IPvX&  nexthop ()

nexthop

[const]

Get the address of the next-hop router for this route.

Returns: the address of the next-hop router for this route.

const string&  ifname ()

ifname

[const]

Get the name of the physical interface toward the destination.

Returns: the name of the physical interface toward the destination.

const string&  vifname ()

vifname

[const]

Get the name of the virtual interface toward the destination.

Returns: the name of the virtual interface toward the destination.

uint32_t  metric ()

metric

[const]

[const]

Test if this is a route to add.

Returns: true if this is a route to add, otherwise false.

bool  is_replace_route ()

is_replace_route

[const]

Test if this is a replacement route.

Returns: true if this is a replacement route, otherwise false.

bool  is_delete_route ()

is_delete_route

[const]

Test if this is a route to delete.

Returns: true if this is a route to delete, otherwise false.

void  set_add_route ()

set_add_route

Set the type of this route to "a route to add".

void  set_replace_route ()

set_replace_route

Set the type of this route to "a replacement route".

void  set_delete_route ()

set_delete_route

Set the type of this route to "a route to delete".

bool  is_interface_route ()

is_interface_route

[const]

Test if the route is interface-specific (e.g., if the interface is explicitly specified).

Returns: true if the route is interface-specific, otherwise false.

bool  is_valid_entry (string& error_msg)

is_valid_entry

[const]

Check whether the route entry is valid.

Parameters:

error_msgthe error message (if error).

Returns: true if the route entry is valid, otherwise false.

bool  is_ignored ()

is_ignored

[const]

Test if the route is to be ignored.

This method is used only for internal purpose when passing the route around.

Returns: true if the route is to be ignored, otherwise false.

void  set_ignored (bool v)

set_ignored

Set whether the route is to be ignored.

This method is used only for internal purpose when passing the route around.

Parameters:

vtrue if the route is to be ignored, otherwise false.
