NAME
     net_inject_t - structure for describing how  to  transmit  a
     packet

SYNOPSIS
     #include 


INTERFACE LEVEL
     Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).

DESCRIPTION
     The net_inject_t data structure  passes  information  in  to
     net_inject about how to transmit a packet. Transmit includes
     sending the packet up into the system as well as out of it.

STRUCTURE MEMBERS
        mblk_t                  *ni_packet;   /* start of the packet */
         struct sockaddr_storage ni_addr;      /* address of next hop */
         phy_if_t                ni_physical;  /* network interface to use */


     ni_packet      Pointer to the first the mblk_t  data  struc-
                    ture that makes up this packet.


     ni_addr        This field is only required to be initialized
                    if  NI_DIRECT_OUT  is  being used to transmit
                    the packet. The sockaddr_storage  field  must
                    be  set  to  indicate whether the destination
                    address contained in the  structure  is  IPv4
                    (cast  ni_addr to struct sockaddr_in) or IPv6
                    (cast ni_addr to struct sockaddr_in6).


     ni_physical    The physical interface where the packet  will
                    be injected.
