Function Documentation

gnrc_sixlowpan_frag_minfwd_forward()

int gnrc_sixlowpan_frag_minfwd_forward	(	gnrc_pktsnip_t *	pkt,
		const sixlowpan_frag_n_t *	frag,
		gnrc_sixlowpan_frag_vrb_t *	vrbe,
		unsigned	page
	)

Forwards a fragment according to a VRB entry.

Parameters

[in]	pkt	The fragment to forward (without fragmentation header). Is consumed by this function.
[in]	frag	The originally received fragmentation header.
[in]	vrbe	Virtual reassembly buffer containing the forwarding information. Removed when datagram was completely forwarded.
[in]	page	Current 6Lo dispatch parsing page.

Precondition

vrbe != NULL

pkt != NULL

frag != NULL

Returns

0 on success.

-ENOMEM, when packet buffer is too full to prepare packet for forwarding.

gnrc_sixlowpan_frag_minfwd_frag_iphc()

int gnrc_sixlowpan_frag_minfwd_frag_iphc	(	gnrc_pktsnip_t *	pkt,
		size_t	orig_datagram_size,
		const ipv6_addr_t *	ipv6_addr,
		gnrc_sixlowpan_frag_fb_t *	fbuf
	)

Fragments a packet with just the IPHC (and padding payload to get to 8 byte) as the first fragment.

Precondition

(frag_msg != NULL)

(pkt != NULL) && (pkt->type == GNRC_NETTYPE_NETIF)

(pkt->next != NULL) && (pkt->next->type == GNRC_NETTYPE_SIXLOWPAN)

Parameters

[in]	pkt	The compressed packet to be sent. Must be in send order with a packet snip of type GNRC_NETTYPE_NETIF first, GNRC_NETTYPE_SIXLOWPAN (the IPHC header including NHC) second, and 0 or more snips of payload.
[in]	orig_datagram_size	The size of the pkt before compression (without GNRC_NETTYPE_NETIF snip). This can differ from frag_msg's gnrc_sixlowpan_msg_frag_t::datagram_size as it might just be a fragment in forwarding that is re-compressed in pkt.
[in]	ipv6_addr	The (uncompressed) destination address of pkt.
[in]	fbuf	A fragmentation buffer entry.

Returns

0, when fragmentation was successful

-1, on error. pkt is not released in that case and should be handled by normal fragmentation.
