pub trait LinkLocalAddress {
// Required method
fn is_link_local(&self) -> bool;
}Expand description
Addresses that can be a link-local.
LinkLocalAddress is implemented by address types for which some values are
considered link-local addresses. Link-local addresses are used for
communication within a network segment, as opposed to global/public
addresses which may be used for communication across networks.
LinkLocalAddress is only implemented for addresses whose link-local-ness
can be determined by looking only at the address itself.
Required Methods§
Sourcefn is_link_local(&self) -> bool
fn is_link_local(&self) -> bool
Is this a link-local address?
is_link_local must maintain the invariant that, if it is called twice
on the same object, and in between those two calls, no code has operated
on a mutable reference to that object, both calls will return the same
value. This property is required in order to implement
LinkLocalAddr. Note that, since this is not an unsafe trait,
unsafe code may NOT rely on this property for its soundness. However,
code MAY rely on this property for its correctness.
If this type also implements SpecifiedAddress, then
a.is_link_local() implies a.is_specified().
