# rte\_node\_ip6\_api.h(3)

## NAME

rte\_node\_ip6\_api.h

## SYNOPSIS

`#include <rte_common.h>`\
 `#include <rte_compat.h>`\
 `#include <rte_ip6.h>`\

### Enumerations

enum **rte\_node\_ip6\_lookup\_next** { **RTE\_NODE\_IP6\_LOOKUP\_NEXT\_REWRITE**, **RTE\_NODE\_IP6\_LOOKUP\_NEXT\_PKT\_DROP** }\

### Functions

\_\_rte\_experimental int **rte\_node\_ip6\_route\_add** (const struct **rte\_ipv6\_addr** \*ip, uint8\_t depth, uint16\_t next\_hop, enum **rte\_node\_ip6\_lookup\_next** next\_node)\
 \_\_rte\_experimental int **rte\_node\_ip6\_rewrite\_add** (uint16\_t next\_hop, uint8\_t \*rewrite\_data, uint8\_t rewrite\_len, uint16\_t dst\_port)\

## Detailed Description

**Warning**

**EXPERIMENTAL:** All functions in this file may be changed or removed without prior notice.

This API allows to do control path functions of ip6\_\* nodes like ip6\_lookup, ip6\_rewrite.

Definition in file **rte\_node\_ip6\_api.h**.

## Enumeration Type Documentation

### enum rte\_node\_ip6\_lookup\_next

*Add a next hop's rewrite data.*

**Parameters**

*next\_hop Next hop id to add rewrite data to.* \
 *rewrite\_data Rewrite data.* \
 *rewrite\_len Length of rewrite data.* \
 *dst\_port Destination port to redirect traffic to.*

**Returns**

*0 on success, negative otherwise.*
