Detailed Description

Member Function Documentation

getL3AddressFor()

virtual L3Address inet::IArp::getL3AddressFor ( const MacAddress &  ) const

pure virtual

Returns the Layer 3 address for the given MAC address.

If it is not available (not in the cache, pending resolution, or already expired), UNSPECIFIED_ADDRESS is returned.

Implemented in inet::Arp, and inet::GlobalArp.

resolveL3Address()

virtual MacAddress inet::IArp::resolveL3Address ( const L3Address &  address, const NetworkInterface *  ie  )

pure virtual

Tries to resolve the given network address to a MAC address.

If the MAC address is not yet resolved it returns an unspecified address and starts an address resolution procedure. A signal is emitted when the address resolution procedure terminates.

Implemented in inet::GlobalArp, and inet::Arp.
