TCPIP_IPV6_PayloadSet Function

unsigned short TCPIP_IPV6_PayloadSet(
    IPV6_PACKET * pkt, 
    uint8_t* payload, 
    unsigned short len
);

This function will allocate a data segment header and append it to the end of a chain of segments in a TX packet. It will set the data pointer in the packet segment to a pre-existing buffer of data.

TCPIP_IPV6_Initialize() should be called. TCPIP_IPV6_InterfaceIsReady should be true.

IPV6_ADDR *

• The amount of data added to the packet length - On Success.

• 0 - On Failure.

This function is useful for adding payloads to outgoing packets without copying them if the data is in another pre-existing buffer (i.e., TCP).
