2.2.6 FW_IPV6_SUBNET

  • Article

This structure represents an IPv6 subnet.

 typedef struct _tag_FW_IPV6_SUBNET {
   unsigned char Address[16];
   [range(0, 128)] unsigned long dwNumPrefixBits;
 } FW_IPV6_SUBNET,
  *PFW_IPV6_SUBNET;

Address: This field contains a 16-octet IPv6 address.

dwNumPrefixBits: This field contains the number of more-significant bits that represent the IPv6 subnet.

The dwNumPrefixBits MUST NOT be greater than 128 and not less than 1. The address SHOULD NOT be an unspecified address (an address composed of all zeros),<1> and it MUST not be a loopback address.
