CreateSortedAddressPairs (NETIOAPI) (Compact 2013)
3/26/2014
The CreateSortedAddressPairs function pairs the destination addresses from a supplied list of potential IP destination addresses together with the host machine's local IP addresses and sorts the pairs according to the preferred communication order.
Syntax
NETIOAPI_API
CreateSortedAddressPairs(
IN const PSOCKADDR_IN6 SourceAddressList OPTIONAL,
IN ULONG SourceAddressCount,
IN const PSOCKADDR_IN6 DestinationAddressList,
IN ULONG DestinationAddressCount,
IN ULONG AddressSortOptions,
OUT PSOCKADDR_IN6_PAIR* SortedAddressPairList,
OUT ULONG* SortedAddressPairCount
);
Parameters
- SourceAddressList
Reserved. This parameter must be NULL.
- SourceAddressCount
Reserved. This parameter must be zero.
- DestinationAddressList
A pointer to a list of potential destination addresses of type SOCKADDR_IN6.
- DestinationAddressCount
The number of addresses in the list that the DestinationAddressList parameter points to.
- AddressSortOptions
Reserved. This parameter must be zero.
- SortedAddressPairList
A pointer to a list of pairs of source and destination addresses, sorted in the preferred order of communication. For more information about this parameter, see the following Remarks section.
- SortedAddressPairCount
The number of address pairs in the list that the SortedAddressPairList parameter points to.
Return Value
Error Code |
Meaning |
---|---|
STATUS_SUCCESS |
The function succeeds. |
STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER |
An invalid parameter was passed to the function |
STATUS_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY |
Insufficient memory resources were available to complete the operation |
Other |
Use the FormatMessage function to obtain the message string for the returned error |
Remarks
The CreateSortedAddressPairs function automatically pairs the host machine's local addresses together with the supplied list of potential destination addresses to which the DestinationAddressList parameter points.
The returned list of pairs of addresses that the SortedAddressPairList parameter points to is sorted so that the address pairs that are best suited for communication between two peers occur earlier in the list.
The SortedAddressPairList parameter is of type PSOCKADDR_IN6_PAIR, which is defined in the Ws2ipdef.h header as follows:
- SourceAddress
The IP source address
- DestinationAddress
The IP destination address
