Functions

func IsInGroup

func IsInGroup(ifc string, maddr string) (bool, error)

IsInGroup tells if interface ifc belongs to group represented by maddr

func JoinGroup

func JoinGroup(ifc string, ip string) error

JoinGroup joins the group address group on the interface ifc

func LeaveGroup

func LeaveGroup(ifc string, ip string) error

LeaveGroup leaves the group address group on the interface ifc

func ListGroup

func ListGroup(ifc string) ([]net.Addr, error)

ListGroup lists multicast addresses on the interface ifc

Types

type Address

type Address addressing.CiliumIPv6

Address encapsulates the functionality to generate solicated node multicast address

func (Address) Key

func (a Address) Key() int32

Key takes the last 3 bytes of endpoint's IPv6 address and compile them in to an int32 value as key of the endpoint. It assumes the input is a valid IPv6 address. Otherwise it returns 0 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4291#section-2.7.1)

func (Address) SolicitedNodeMaddr

func (a Address) SolicitedNodeMaddr() addressing.CiliumIPv6

SolicitedNodeMaddr returns solicited node multicast address
