Struct Config

#[non_exhaustive]
pub struct Config {
    pub random_seed: u64,
    pub hardware_addr: HardwareAddress,
}

Configuration structure used for creating a network interface.

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.

random_seed: u64

Random seed.

It is strongly recommended that the random seed is different on each boot, to avoid problems with TCP port/sequence collisions.

The seed doesn’t have to be cryptographically secure.

hardware_addr: HardwareAddress

Set the Hardware address the interface will use.

Panics

Creating the interface panics if the address is not unicast.

Implementations

impl Config

pub fn new(hardware_addr: HardwareAddress) -> Self
