Enum Ipv6MulticastScope

source
#[non_exhaustive]
pub enum Ipv6MulticastScope { InterfaceLocal, LinkLocal, RealmLocal, AdminLocal, SiteLocal, OrganizationLocal, Global, }
🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (ip)
Expand description

Scope of an IPv6 multicast address as defined in IETF RFC 7346 section 2.

§Stability Guarantees

Not all possible values for a multicast scope have been assigned. Future RFCs may introduce new scopes, which will be added as variants to this enum; because of this the enum is marked as #[non_exhaustive].

§Examples

#![feature(ip)]

use std::net::Ipv6Addr;
use std::net::Ipv6MulticastScope::*;

// An IPv6 multicast address with global scope (`ff0e::`).
let address = Ipv6Addr::new(0xff0e, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);

// Will print "Global scope".
match address.multicast_scope() {
    Some(InterfaceLocal) => println!("Interface-Local scope"),
    Some(LinkLocal) =>
