/** @file
This file defines the EFI IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4)
Protocol interface. It is split into the following three main
sections:
- EFI IPv4 Service Binding Protocol
- EFI IPv4 Variable
- EFI IPv4 Protocol.
The EFI IPv4 Protocol provides basic network IPv4 packet I/O services,
which includes support foR a subset of the Internet Control Message
Protocol (ICMP) and may include support for the Internet Group Management
Protocol (IGMP).

Assigns an IPv4 address and subnet mask to this EFI IPv4 Protocol driver instance.
The Configure() function is used to set, change, or reset the operational
parameters and filter settings for this EFI IPv4 Protocol instance. Until these
parameters have been set, no network traffic can be sent or received by this
instance. Once the parameters have been reset (by calling this function with
IpConfigData set to NULL), no more traffic can be sent or received until these
parameters have been set again. Each EFI IPv4 Protocol instance can be started
and stopped independently of each other by enabling or disabling their receive
filter settings with the Configure() function.
When IpConfigData.UseDefaultAddress is set to FALSE, the new station address will
be appended as an alias address into the addresses list in the EFI IPv4 Protocol
driver. While set to TRUE, Configure() will trigger the EFI_IP4_CONFIG_PROTOCOL
to retrieve the default IPv4 address if it is not available yet. Clients could
frequently call GetModeData() to check the status to ensure that the default IPv4
address is ready.
If operational parameters are reset or changed, any pending transmit and receive
requests will be cancelled. Their completion token status will be set to EFI_ABORTED
and their events will be signaled.

@retval EFI_UNSUPPORTED One or more of the following conditions is TRUE:
A configuration protocol (DHCP, BOOTP, RARP, etc.) could
not be located when clients choose to use the default IPv4
address. This EFI IPv4 Protocol implementation does not
support this requested filter or timeout setting.
@retval EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES The EFI IPv4 Protocol driver instance data could not be allocated.

/**
Adds and deletes routing table entries.
The Routes() function adds a route to or deletes a route from the routing table.
Routes are determined by comparing the SubnetAddress with the destination IPv4
address arithmetically AND-ed with the SubnetMask. The gateway address must be
on the same subnet as the configured station address.
The default route is added with SubnetAddress and SubnetMask both set to 0.0.0.0.
The default route matches all destination IPv4 addresses that do not match any
other routes.
A GatewayAddress that is zero is a nonroute. Packets are sent to the destination
IP address if it can be found in the ARP cache or on the local subnet. One automatic
nonroute entry will be inserted into the routing table for outgoing packets that
are addressed to a local subnet (gateway address of 0.0.0.0).
Each EFI IPv4 Protocol instance has its own independent routing table. Those EFI
IPv4 Protocol instances that use the default IPv4 address will also have copies
of the routing table that was provided by the EFI_IP4_CONFIG_PROTOCOL, and these
copies will be updated whenever the EIF IPv4 Protocol driver reconfigures its
instances. As a result, client modification to the routing table will be lost.
@param This The pointer to the EFI_IP4_PROTOCOL instance.
@param DeleteRoute Set to TRUE to delete this route from the routing table. Set to
FALSE to add this route to the routing table. SubnetAddress
and SubnetMask are used as the key to each route entry.
@param SubnetAddress The address of the subnet that needs to be routed.
@param SubnetMask The subnet mask of SubnetAddress.
@param GatewayAddress The unicast gateway IPv4 address for this route.
@retval EFI_SUCCESS The operation completed successfully.
@retval EFI_NOT_STARTED The driver instance has not been started.
@retval EFI_NO_MAPPING When using the default address, configuration (DHCP, BOOTP,

Places a receiving request into the receiving queue.
The Receive() function places a completion token into the receive packet queue.
This function is always asynchronous.
The Token.Event field in the completion token must be filled in by the caller
and cannot be NULL. When the receive operation completes, the EFI IPv4 Protocol
driver updates the Token.Status and Token.Packet.RxData fields and the Token.Event
is signaled.
@param This The pointer to the EFI_IP4_PROTOCOL instance.
@param Token The pointer to a token that is associated with the receive data descriptor.
@retval EFI_SUCCESS The receive completion token was cached.
@retval EFI_NOT_STARTED This EFI IPv4 Protocol instance has not been started.
@retval EFI_NO_MAPPING When using the default address, configuration (DHCP, BOOTP, RARP, etc.)
is not finished yet.
@retval EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER One or more of the following conditions is TRUE:
- This is NULL.
- Token is NULL.
- Token.Event is NULL.
@retval EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES The receive completion token could not be queued due to a lack of system
resources (usually memory).
@retval EFI_DEVICE_ERROR An unexpected system or network error occurred.
The EFI IPv4 Protocol instance has been reset to startup defaults.
@retval EFI_ACCESS_DENIED The receive completion token with the same Token.Event was already
in the receive queue.
@retval EFI_NOT_READY The receive request could not be queued because the receive queue is full.
@retval EFI_ICMP_ERROR An ICMP error packet was received.

Abort an asynchronous transmit or receive request.
The Cancel() function is used to abort a pending transmit or receive request.
If the token is in the transmit or receive request queues, after calling this
function, Token->Status will be set to EFI_ABORTED and then Token->Event will
be signaled. If the token is not in one of the queues, which usually means the
asynchronous operation has completed, this function will not signal the token
and EFI_NOT_FOUND is returned.
@param This The pointer to the EFI_IP4_PROTOCOL instance.
@param Token The pointer to a token that has been issued by

tokens are aborted. Type EFI_IP4_COMPLETION_TOKEN is
defined in EFI_IP4_PROTOCOL.Transmit().
@retval EFI_SUCCESS The asynchronous I/O request was aborted and
Token->Event was signaled. When Token is NULL, all
pending requests were aborted and their events were signaled.

@retval EFI_NO_MAPPING When using the default address, configuration (DHCP, BOOTP,

@retval EFI_NOT_FOUND When Token is not NULL, the asynchronous I/O request was
not found in the transmit or receive queue. It has either completed

Polls for incoming data packets and processes outgoing data packets.
The Poll() function polls for incoming data packets and processes outgoing data
packets. Network drivers and applications can call the EFI_IP4_PROTOCOL.Poll()
function to increase the rate that data packets are moved between the communications
device and the transmit and receive queues.
In some systems the periodic timer event may not poll the underlying communications
device fast enough to transmit and/or receive all data packets without missing
incoming packets or dropping outgoing packets. Drivers and applications that are
experiencing packet loss should try calling the EFI_IP4_PROTOCOL.Poll() function
more often.
@param This The pointer to the EFI_IP4_PROTOCOL instance.
@retval EFI_SUCCESS Incoming or outgoing data was processed.
@retval EFI_NOT_STARTED This EFI IPv4 Protocol instance has not been started.
@retval EFI_NO_MAPPING When using the default address, configuration (DHCP, BOOTP,
