-This repository handles changes to the Ipv4 interface class and Ipv4Impl
-class.
-
-1. Changeset: d99061f1167c
-
-Synopsis:
---------
-- deconflict NetDevice::ifIndex and Ipv4::ifIndex (bug 85)
-
-Changed public API (src/node)
---------
-
-All function parameters named "ifIndex" that refer to an Ipv4 interface
-are instead named "interface".
-
-- static const uint32_t Ipv4RoutingProtocol::IF_INDEX_ANY = 0xffffffff;
-+ static const uint32_t Ipv4RoutingProtocol::INTERFACE_ANY = 0xffffffff;
-
-- bool Ipv4RoutingProtocol::RequestIfIndex (Ipv4Address destination, uint32_t& ifIndex);
-+ bool Ipv4RoutingProtocol::RequestInterface (Ipv4Address destination, uint32_t& interface);
-(N.B. this particular function will be later renamed to RouteOutput() in the
-proposed IPv4 routing refactoring)
-
-- uint32_t Ipv4::GetIfIndexByAddress (Ipv4Address addr, Ipv4Mask mask);
-+ int_32t Ipv4::GetInterfaceForAddress (Ipv4Address address, Ipv4Mask mask) const;
-
-- bool Ipv4::GetIfIndexForDestination (Ipv4Address dest, uint32_t &ifIndex) const;
-+ bool Ipv4::GetInterfaceForDestination (Ipv4Address dest, uint32_t &interface) const;
-(N.B. this function is not needed in the proposed Ipv4 routing refactoring)
-
-
-New public API or classes (src/node)
---------
-
-None.
-
-Changed private API (src/internet-node)
---------
-
-(similar API changes to the IPv4 implementation classes instantiating
-the above public API)
-
-New private API or classes (src/internet-node)
---------
-
-None.

-2. Changeset: e493e80274bd (implementation added in parallel)
- Changeset: db81fdcb06e7 (cut over of client code, remove old code)
-
-Synopsis:
---------
-- allow multiple IPv4 addresses to be assigned to an interface (bug 188)
-
-Changed public API:
---------
-
-We now have a new class and methods to account for the possibility of having
-multiple IP addresses on an interface:
-
-+ virtual uint32_t AddAddress (uint32_t interface, Ipv4InterfaceAddress address) = 0;
-+ virtual Ipv4InterfaceAddress GetAddress (uint32_t interface, uint32_t addressIndex) const = 0;
-+ virtual uint32_t GetNAddresses (uint32_t interface) const = 0;
-
-Regarding legacy API usage, typically where you once did the following,
-using the public Ipv4 class interface (e.g.):
-
- ipv4A->SetAddress (ifIndexA, Ipv4Address ("172.16.1.1"));
- ipv4A->SetNetworkMask (ifIndexA, Ipv4Mask ("255.255.255.255"));
-
-you now do:
-
- Ipv4InterfaceAddress ipv4IfAddrA = Ipv4InterfaceAddress (Ipv4Address ("172.16.1.1"), Ipv4Mask ("255.255.255.255"));
- ipv4A->AddAddress (ifIndexA, ipv4IfAddrA);
-
-
-At the helper API level, one often gets an address from an interface
-container. We preserve the legacy GetAddress (uint32_t i) but it
-is documented that this will return only the first (address index 0)
-address on the interface, if there are multiple such addresses.
-We provide also an overloaded variant for the multi-address case:
-
-Ipv4Address Ipv4InterfaceContainer::GetAddress (uint32_t i)
-+ Ipv4Address Ipv4InterfaceContainer::GetAddress (uint32_t i, uint32_t j)
-
-
-New public API or classes (src/node)
---------
-
-class Ipv4InterfaceAddress: This is a new class to parallel Linux
-struct in_ifaddr. It holds IP addressing information, including mask,
-broadcast address, scope, whether primary or secondary, etc.
-
-Location: src/node/ipv4-interface-address.h

-3. Changeset: 2a05a47dba22
-
-Synopsis:
---------
-- Remove class Ipv4Impl from src/internet-stack
-
-Changed public API:
---------
-
-None
-
-Changed private API
----------
-
-Remove class Ipv4Impl; class Ipv4L3Protocol now inherits from class Ipv4
-allow multiple IPv4 addresses to be assigned to an interface (bug 188)
