# rte\_table\_lpm\_ipv6\_key(3)

## NAME

rte\_table\_lpm\_ipv6\_key

## SYNOPSIS

`#include <rte_table_lpm_ipv6.h>`

### Data Fields

struct **rte\_ipv6\_addr** **ip**\
 uint8\_t **depth**\

## Detailed Description

LPM table rule (i.e. route), specified as IP prefix. While the key used by the lookup operation is the destination IP address (read from the input packet meta-data), the entry add and entry delete operations work with LPM rules, with each rule covering for a multitude of lookup keys (destination IP addresses) that share the same data (next hop).

### uint8\_t depth

IP address depth. The most significant 'depth' bits of the IP address specify the network part of the IP address, while the rest of the bits specify the host part of the address and are ignored for the purpose of route specification.
