Trait net_types::BroadcastAddress
source · pub trait BroadcastAddress {
// Required method
fn is_broadcast(&self) -> bool;
}
Expand description
Addresses that can be broadcast.
BroadcastAddress
is implemented by address types for which some values are
considered broadcast addresses. Broadcast addresses are used to identify
all the nodes in some region of a network, as opposed to unicast addresses,
which identify a single node, or multicast addresses, which identify a group
of nodes (not necessarily all of them).
Required Methods§
sourcefn is_broadcast(&self) -> bool
fn is_broadcast(&self) -> bool
Is this a broadcast address?
If this type also implements SpecifiedAddress
, then
a.is_broadcast()
implies a.is_specified()
.
