Subject: [PATCH dpdk v1 04/15] net: use ipv6 structure for header addresses
Date: Wed, 21 Aug 2024 18:25:21 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240821162516.610624-21-rjarry@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240821162516.610624-17-rjarry@redhat.com>

The rte_ipv6_hdr uses ad-hoc uint8_t[16] arrays to represent addresses.
Replace these arrays with the previously introduced rte_ipv6_addr
structure. Adapt all code accordingly.
