NAME
     net_inject_t - structure for describing how  to  transmit	a
     packet

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/neti.h>

INTERFACE LEVEL
     Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI)

DESCRIPTION
     The net_inject_t data structure is	used to	pass  information
     in	 to  net_inject	 about	how to transmit	a packet.  In the
     context of	this  document,	 transmit  includes  sending  the
     packet up into the	system as well as out of it.

STRUCTURE MEMBERS
     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 */

     ni_packet
	  pointer to the first mblk_t that makes up this packet

     ni_addr
	  This field  is  only	required  to  be  initialised  if
	  NI_DIRECT_OUT	 is  being  used  to transmit the packet.
	  The ss_family	field must be set to indicate whether the
	  destination  address contained in the	structure is IPv4
	  (cast	ni_addr	to  struct  sockaddr_in)  or  IPv6  (cast
	  ni_addr to struct sockaddr_in6.)

     ni_physical
	  the  physical	 interface  where  the	packet	will   be
	  injected
