NAME
     net_instance_t - packet event structure  passed  through  to
     hooks

SYNOPSIS
     #include 


INTERFACE LEVEL
     Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).

DESCRIPTION
     The net_instance_t data structure defines  a  collection  of
     instances  to  be  called when relevant events happen within
     IP. The value  returned  by  the  nin_create()  function  is
     stored  internally and passed back to both the nin_destroy()
     and nin_shutdown() functions as  the  second  argument.  The
     netid_t  passed  through  to  each  function  can be used to
     uniquely identify each instance of IP.

STRUCTURE MEMBERS
           char    *nin_name;
            void    *(*nin_create)(const netid_t);
            void    (*nin_destroy)(const netid_t, void *);
            void    (*nin_shutdown)(const netid_t, void *);


     nin_name        Name of the owner of the instance.


     nin_create      Function to be called when a new instance of
                     IP is created.


     nin_destroy     Function to be called when an instance of IP
                     is being destroyed.


     nin_shutdown    Function to be called when an instance of IP
                     is  being shutdown. nin_shutdown() is called
                     before nin_destroy() is called.
