Struct libwifi::frame::components::MacAddress

pub struct MacAddress(pub [u8; 6]);

This is our representation of a MAC-address

use libwifi::frame::components::MacAddress;

let address = MacAddress([255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 255]);
println!("{}", address.is_broadcast());
// -> true

Tuple Fields

0: [u8; 6]

Implementations

impl MacAddress

pub fn is_broadcast(&self) -> bool

Check whether this MAC addresses the whole network.

pub fn is_groupcast(&self) -> bool

Check whether this is a group address. Group addresses start with 01:80:C2::0/24.

pub fn is_ipv4_multicast(&self) -> bool

The 01:00:5e::0/18 space is reserved for ipv4 multicast

pub fn is_ipv6_neighborhood_discovery(&self) -> bool

33:33::0/24 is used for ipv6 neighborhood discovery.

pub fn is_ipv6_multicast(&self) -> bool

The 33:33::0/24 space is reserved for ipv6 multicast

pub fn is_spanning_tree(&self) -> bool

The 01:80:c2::0/18 space is reserved for spanning-tree requests.

pub fn is_real_device(&self) -> bool

A helper function to check whether the mac address is an actual device or just some kind of “meta” mac address.

This function is most likely not complete, but it already covers a cases.
