IP_ADDRESS_PREFIX structure

The IP_ADDRESS_PREFIX structure stores an IP address prefix.

Syntax

typedef struct _IP_ADDRESS_PREFIX {
  SOCKADDR_INET Prefix;
  UINT8         PrefixLength;
} IP_ADDRESS_PREFIX, *PIP_ADDRESS_PREFIX;

Members

• Prefix
  The prefix or network part of the address represented as an IP address.

• PrefixLength
  The length, in bits, of the prefix or network part of the IP address. For a unicast IPv4 address, any value that is greater than 32 is an illegal value. For a unicast IPv6 address, any value that is greater than 128 is an illegal value. A value of 255 is typically used to represent an illegal value.
