namespace eos

Enums

mpls_action_t enum

The action to take for an MPLS route.

Values:

  • MPLS_ACTION_NULL -
  • MPLS_ACTION_PUSH -
  • MPLS_ACTION_POP -
  • MPLS_ACTION_SWAP -
  • MPLS_ACTION_FORWARD -
mpls_ttl_mode_t enum

Whether to use the pipe or uniform TTL inheritance mode.

Values:

  • MPLS_TTLMODE_NULL -
  • MPLS_TTLMODE_PIPE -

    pipe” mode, do not inherit TTL from inner IP.

  • MPLS_TTLMODE_UNIFORM -

    uniform” mode, inherit TTL from inner IP.

mpls_payload_type_t enum

The inner payload type. Used in a similar way to ethertype, as MPLS does not provide this in the packet.

Values:

  • MPLS_PAYLOAD_TYPE_NULL -
  • MPLS_PAYLOAD_TYPE_MPLS -
  • MPLS_PAYLOAD_TYPE_IPV4 -
  • MPLS_PAYLOAD_TYPE_IPV6 -
  • MPLS_PAYLOAD_TYPE_GUESS -
class mpls_label_t
#include <mpls.h>

An MPLS label, per RFC 3032. Note: label id 0 (default value) is the explicit null label. LSRs receiving this label are expected to pop it and perform ultimate IP orwarding. MPLS label numbers are 20 bits in size, covering the range 0..1048575.

Public Type

Anonymous enum

Values:

  • MIN -
  • MAX = = 0xfffff -

  • INVALID = = 0x100000 -

Public Functions

mpls_label_t(uint32_t label)
mpls_label_t()
uint32_t label() const

Getter for ‘label’: key for the route that this via is attached to.

void label_is(uint32_t label)

Setter for ‘label’.

bool operator!() const
std::string to_string() const

Returns a string representation of the MPLS label.

bool operator==(mpls_label_t const & other) const
bool operator!=(mpls_label_t const & other) const
bool operator<(mpls_label_t const & other) const
uint32_t hash() const

The hash function for type mpls_label_t.

void mix_me(hash_mix & h) const

The hash mix function for type mpls_label_t.

Private Members

uint32_t label_

Friends

friend struct MplsLabelHelper
friend std::ostream & operator<<

A utility stream operator that adds a string representation of mpls_label_t to the ostream.
