NAME
     net_instance_t - packet event structure  passed  through  to
     hooks

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/neti.h>

INTERFACE LEVEL
     Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI)

DESCRIPTION
     The net_instance data structure is	used to	define a  collec-
     tion  of  instances to be called when relevant events happen
     within IP.	 The value returned by the nin_create function is
     stored  internally	 and  passed back to both the nin_destroy
     and nin_shutdown functions	 as  the  second  argument.   The
     netid_t  passed  through  to  each	 function  can be used to
     uniquely identify each instance of	IP.
