Struct InterfaceAddress 

#[non_exhaustive]
pub struct InterfaceAddress {
    pub id: Id<InterfaceAddress>,
    pub interface_index: u32,
    pub address: Network,
    pub broadcast: Option<IpAddress>,
}

An IP address assigned to a network interface, plus the prefix length it was assigned with (e.g. 192.168.1.10/24).

Named ifaddr, not address, to avoid colliding with the address module’s IpAddress/Network primitives — this is a distinct domain concept (an address bound to an interface), not another address representation.

#[non_exhaustive]: platforms carry different address fields (Linux exposes address scope and lifetime/deprecation timers via IFA_CACHEINFO; Windows exposes per-address DadState/SkipAsSource; BSD/macOS expose a combined flags word). Marking this non-exhaustive now means adding platform-specific fields later is not a breaking change for consumers who construct an InterfaceAddress via InterfaceAddress::new rather than a struct literal — see ARCHITECTURE.md’s note on model extensibility.

Fields (Non-exhaustive)

Non-exhaustive structs could have additional fields added in future. Therefore, non-exhaustive structs cannot be constructed in external crates using the traditional Struct { .. } syntax; cannot be matched against without a wildcard ..; and struct update syntax will not work.

id: Id<InterfaceAddress>

interface_index: u32

The OS-level interface index this address is assigned to, the same raw value Interface::index/Route::interface_index carry.

address: Network

The assigned address and the prefix length it carries.

broadcast: Option<IpAddress>

The IPv4 broadcast address for this subnet, if the platform reports one. Always None for IPv6, which has no broadcast concept.
