Struct IfaceInfo 

pub struct IfaceInfo {
    pub index: u32,
    pub name: String,
    pub ip: Ipv4Addr,
    pub netmask: Ipv4Addr,
    pub broadcast: Option<Ipv4Addr>,
    pub up_non_loopback: bool,
}

Snapshot of one IPv4 interface.

Fields

index: u32

Kernel interface index (if_nametoindex). 0 means “let the kernel pick” — useful as a sentinel when the platform did not surface an index.

name: String

Interface name (eth0, en0, Wi-Fi, …).

ip: Ipv4Addr

IPv4 address bound on this interface.

netmask: Ipv4Addr

IPv4 netmask.

broadcast: Option<Ipv4Addr>

Subnet broadcast address (when reported by the OS), e.g. 10.0.0.255. None for point-to-point links.

up_non_loopback: bool

true when the interface carries the OS IFF_UP flag and is not loopback — the eligibility test for SEARCH/beacon fanout. C parity: osiSockDiscoverBroadcastAddresses (osdNetIfConf.c:170-181) skips !(IFF_UP) and IFF_LOOPBACK interfaces. On Linux (where the crate links libc) this consults the live kernel flags via getifaddrs; on other targets it falls back to !is_loopback() because the platform’s enumerator already excludes operationally-down adapters.
