Enum MulticastAddr

pub enum MulticastAddr {
    V4,
    V6LinkLocal,
    V6SiteLocal,
    Loopback,
}

The Multicast Address in use

This uses officially assigned addresses by IANA

Variants

V4

The IPv4 Multicast address: 239.255.255.250

This is referred to as site-local

V6LinkLocal

The IPv6 Multicast address: ff02::c

This is referred to as link-local

V6SiteLocal

The IPv6 Multicast address: ff05::c

This is referred to as site-local

Loopback

This is used only for test purposes or a local setup

Multicast is not redirected to the originating host, so we cannot run a Service and a Client on the same device

Implementations

impl MulticastAddr

pub fn get_ip(&self) -> IpAddr

Returns an IpAddr for the given enum value

pub fn is_v4(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the enum value is IPv4, false if it’s IPv6

pub fn get_v4(&self) -> Option<Ipv4Addr>

Returns the IPv4 addr if enum is an IPv4 addr

pub fn get_v6(&self) -> Option<Ipv6Addr>

Returns the IPv6 addr if enum is an IPv6 addr

Trait Implementations

impl PartialEq for MulticastAddr

fn eq(&self, other: &MulticastAddr) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
