Parameters:

buf

buffer to store the data

static Ipv6Prefix ns3::Ipv6Prefix::GetLoopback

(

)

[static]

Returns:

a Ipv6Prefix corresponding to loopback prefix

static Ipv6Prefix ns3::Ipv6Prefix::GetZero

(

)

[static]

Get the zero prefix ( /0).

Returns:

an Ipv6Prefix

bool ns3::Ipv6Prefix::IsEqual

(

const Ipv6Prefix &

other

)

const

Comparison operation between two Ipv6Prefix.

Parameters:

other

the IPv6 prefix to which to compare this prefix

Returns:

true if the prefixes are equal, false otherwise

bool ns3::Ipv6Prefix::IsMatch	(	Ipv6Address	a,
		Ipv6Address	b
	)			const

If the Address match the type.

Parameters:

	a	a first address
	b	a second address

Returns:

true if the type match, false otherwise
