#[non_exhaustive]pub enum HardwareAddress {
Ethernet([u8; 6]),
Ieee802154([u8; 8]),
Ip,
}
Expand description
Representation of an hardware address, such as an Ethernet address or an IEEE802.15.4 address.
Variants (Non-exhaustive)§
This enum is marked as non-exhaustive
Non-exhaustive enums could have additional variants added in future. Therefore, when matching against variants of non-exhaustive enums, an extra wildcard arm must be added to account for any future variants.
Ethernet([u8; 6])
Ethernet medium, with a A six-octet Ethernet address.
Devices of this type send and receive Ethernet frames, and interfaces using it must do neighbor discovery via ARP or NDISC.
Examples of devices of this type are Ethernet, WiFi (802.11), Linux tap
, and VPNs in tap (layer 2) mode.
Ieee802154([u8; 8])
6LoWPAN over IEEE802.15.4, with an eight-octet address.
Ip
Indicates that a Driver is IP-native, and has no hardware address.
Devices of this type send and receive IP frames, without an Ethernet header. MAC addresses are not used, and no neighbor discovery (ARP, NDISC) is done.
Examples of devices of this type are the Linux tun
, PPP interfaces, VPNs in tun (layer 3) mode.
