2 This file defines the EFI IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6)
3 Protocol interface. It is split into the following three main
5 - EFI IPv6 Service Binding Protocol
6 - EFI IPv6 Variable (deprecated in UEFI 2.4B)
8 The EFI IPv6 Protocol provides basic network IPv6 packet I/O services,
9 which includes support for Neighbor Discovery Protocol (ND), Multicast
10 Listener Discovery Protocol (MLD), and a subset of the Internet Control
11 Message Protocol (ICMPv6).

583 Assigns an IPv6 address and subnet mask to this EFI IPv6 Protocol driver instance.
585 The Configure() function is used to set, change, or reset the operational parameters and filter
586 settings for this EFI IPv6 Protocol instance. Until these parameters have been set, no network traffic
587 can be sent or received by this instance. Once the parameters have been reset (by calling this
588 function with Ip6ConfigData set to NULL), no more traffic can be sent or received until these
589 parameters have been set again. Each EFI IPv6 Protocol instance can be started and stopped
590 independently of each other by enabling or disabling their receive filter settings with the
591 Configure() function.

598 address list in the EFI IPv6 driver. If both Ip6ConfigData.StationAddress and
599 Ip6ConfigData.Destination are unspecified, when transmitting the packet afterwards, the
600 source address filled in each outgoing IPv6 packet is decided based on the destination of this packet. .

676 The Routes() function adds a route to or deletes a route from the routing table.
678 Routes are determined by comparing the leftmost PrefixLength bits of Destination with
679 the destination IPv6 address arithmetically. The gateway address must be on the same subnet as the

725 Add or delete Neighbor cache entries.
727 The Neighbors() function is used to add, update, or delete an entry from neighbor cache.
728 IPv6 neighbor cache entries are typically inserted and updated by the network protocol driver as
729 network traffic is processed. Most neighbor cache entries will time out and be deleted if the network
730 traffic stops. Neighbor cache entries that were inserted by Neighbors() may be static (will not
731 timeout) or dynamic (will time out).

782 Places outgoing data packets into the transmit queue.
784 The Transmit() function places a sending request in the transmit queue of this
785 EFI IPv6 Protocol instance. Whenever the packet in the token is sent out or some
786 errors occur, the event in the token will be signaled and the status is updated.

806 non-zero when doing Configure() for this EFI IPv6 protocol instance.

831 Places a receiving request into the receiving queue.
833 The Receive() function places a completion token into the receive packet queue.
834 This function is always asynchronous.
836 The Token.Event field in the completion token must be filled in by the caller
837 and cannot be NULL. When the receive operation completes, the EFI IPv6 Protocol
838 driver updates the Token.Status and Token.Packet.RxData fields and the Token.Event

869 Abort an asynchronous transmit or receive request.
871 The Cancel() function is used to abort a pending transmit or receive request.
872 If the token is in the transmit or receive request queues, after calling this
873 function, Token->Status will be set to EFI_ABORTED and then Token->Event will
874 be signaled. If the token is not in one of the queues, which usually means the
875 asynchronous operation has completed, this function will not signal the token
876 and EFI_NOT_FOUND is returned.

880 EFI_IP6_PROTOCOL.Transmit() or

882 tokens are aborted. Type EFI_IP6_COMPLETION_TOKEN is

904 Polls for incoming data packets and processes outgoing data packets.
906 The Poll() function polls for incoming data packets and processes outgoing data
907 packets. Network drivers and applications can call the EFI_IP6_PROTOCOL.Poll()
908 function to increase the rate that data packets are moved between the communications
909 device and the transmit and receive queues.
911 In some systems the periodic timer event may not poll the underlying communications
912 device fast enough to transmit and/or receive all data packets without missing
913 incoming packets or dropping outgoing packets. Drivers and applications that are
914 experiencing packet loss should try calling the EFI_IP6_PROTOCOL.Poll() function
