View the official Windows hardware development documentationNo description available.
From a supplied list of potential IP destination addresses, the CreateSortedAddressPairs function pairs the destination addresses together with the host machine's local IP addresses and sorts the pairs according to the preferred order of communication.
SourceAddressList [in, optional] Reserved. This parameter must be NULL.
SourceAddressCount [in] Reserved. This parameter must be zero.
DestinationAddressList [in] A pointer to a list of potential destination addresses of type SOCKADDR_IN6.
DestinationAddressCount [in] The number of addresses in the list that the DestinationAddressList parameter points to.
AddressSortOptions [in] Reserved. This parameter must be zero.
SortedAddressPairList [in] 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 [out] The number of address pairs in the list that the SortedAddressPairList parameter points to.
CreateSortedAddressPairs returns STATUS_SUCCESS if the function succeeds.
If the function fails, CreateSortedAddressPairs returns one of the following error codes:
| Return code | Description |
|---|---|
| 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. |
The CreateSortedAddressPairs function automatically pairs the host machine's local addresses together with the supplied list of potential destination addresses that the DestinationAddressList parameter points to.
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 occurr earlier in the list.
The SortedAddressPairList parameter is of type PSOCKADDR_IN6_PAIR, which is defined in the Ws2ipdef.h header as follows.
typedef struct _sockaddr_in6_pair
{
PSOCKADDR_IN6 SourceAddress;
PSOCKADDR_IN6 DestinationAddress;
} SOCKADDR_IN6_PAIR, *PSOCKADDR_IN6_PAIR;
- **SourceAddress**
The IP source address.
- **DestinationAddress**
The IP destination address.
