}

Initializer for a packet.

Fields

src_addr: Address

The ethernet source address to use.

Most often you’ll want to select the address assigned to the ethernet endpoint at which responses are to be received. But in theory you are free to use other addresses, for example to emulate a very temporary endpoint or use manual addresses for less standard compliant networking.

dst_addr: Address

The destination address for the frame.

Can be broadcast, multi-cast, unicast or some application specific addressing magic within an organizational reserved block.

ethertype: EtherType

The protocol of the next layer, contained in the frame payload.

payload: usize

The length in bytes that the payload requires.
