.SH NAME
net_inject_t \- structure for describing how to transmit a packet
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <sys/neti.h>
.fi

.SH INTERFACE LEVEL
illumos DDI specific (illumos DDI).
.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fBnet_inject_t\fR data structure passes information in to \fBnet_inject\fR
about how to transmit a packet. Transmit includes sending the packet up into
the system as well as out of it.
.SH STRUCTURE MEMBERS
.in +2
.nf
 mblk_t                  *ni_packet;   /* start of the packet */
  struct sockaddr_storage ni_addr;      /* address of next hop */
  phy_if_t                ni_physical;  /* network interface to use */

\fB\fBni_packet\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 15n
Pointer to the first the \fBmblk_t\fR data structure that makes up this packet.

\fB\fBni_addr\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 15n
This field is only required to be initialized if \fBNI_DIRECT_OUT\fR is being
used to transmit the packet. The \fBsockaddr_storage\fR field must be set to
indicate whether the destination address contained in the structure is
\fBIPv4\fR (cast \fIni_addr\fR to struct \fIsockaddr_in\fR) or \fBIPv6\fR (cast
\fIni_addr\fR to struct \fIsockaddr_in6\fR).
.RE

.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBni_physical\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 15n
The physical interface where the packet will be injected.
