Field Documentation

DDS_Long DDS_Locator_t::kind

The kind of locator.

If the Locator_t kind is DDS_LOCATOR_KIND_UDPv4, the address contains an IPv4 address. In this case, the leading 12 octets of the DDS_Locator_t::address must be zero. The last 4 octets of DDS_Locator_t::address are used to store the IPv4 address.

If the Locator_t kind is DDS_LOCATOR_KIND_UDPv6, the address contains an IPv6 address. IPv6 addresses typically use a shorthand hexadecimal notation that maps one-to-one to the 16 octets in the DDS_Locator_t::address field.

DDS_UnsignedLong DDS_Locator_t::port

the port number

DDS_Octet DDS_Locator_t::address[RTPS_LOCATOR_ADDRESS_LENGTH_MAX]

An octet field (with maximum length of RTPS_LOCATOR_ADDRESS_LENGTH_MAX to hold the IP address.
