This is the base class from which RIB routing table entries are derived. It's not useful by itself.
| RouteEntry (Vif *vif, NextHop *nh, const Protocol& proto, uint16_t metric)
| RouteEntry |
Constructor for a route entry.
Parameters:
| vif | the Virtual Interface on which packets matching this routing table entry should be forwarded. |
| nh | the NextHop router to which packets matching this entry should be forwarded. |
| proto | the routing protocol that originated this route. |
| metric | the routing protocol metric for this route. |
| ~RouteEntry ()
| ~RouteEntry |
[virtual]
Destructor
| Vif * vif ()
| vif |
[const]
Get the VIF
Returns: the Virtual Interface on which packets matching this routing table entry should be forwarded.
| inline NextHop * nexthop ()
| nexthop |
[const]
Get the NextHop
Returns: the NextHop router to which packets matching this entry should be forwarded.
| void set_nexthop (NextHop *nh)
| set_nexthop |
Set the NextHop
Parameters:
| nh | the NextHop router to be set on this route. |
| inline uint16_t admin_distance ()
| admin_distance |
[const]
Get the Administrative Distance
Returns: the Administrative Distance associated with this route. Admin Distance is a parameter typically assigned on a per-routing-protocol basis. When two routes for the same subnet come from different routing protocols, the one with the lower admin distance is prefered
| void set_admin_distance (uint16_t ad)
| set_admin_distance |
Set the Administrative Distance
Parameters:
| ad | the administrative distance to apply to this route. |
| const Protocol & protocol ()
| protocol |
[const]
Get the routing protocol
Returns: the routing protocol that originated this route.
| string str ()
| str |
[const pure virtual]
Display the route for debugging purposes
| void set_metric (uint16_t metric)
| set_metric |
Set the routing protocol metric on this route
Parameters:
| metric | the routing protocol metric to be set on this route. |
| uint32_t global_metric ()
| global_metric |
[const]
Get a metric for the route that can be directly compared, even when the routes originate from different protocols. Lower metrics are prefered.
Returns: a metric where the most significant bits are the admin distance and the least significant bits are the routing protocol metric.
| uint32_t metric ()
| metric |
[const]
Get the routing protocol metric.
Returns: the routing protocol metric for this route
