function create_packet_io

inline virtual std::shared_ptr< I_Packet_IO > create_packet_io(
    unsigned int ifindex,
    const std::optional< SockAddr > & dns_upstream_src
)

create a packet io that will read (and optionally write) packets on a network interface the lokinet process does not own

Parameters:

• index the interface index of the network interface to use or 0 for all interfaces on the system
