  • neigh_node — the neigh_node through which the OGM has been received. your neighbor bestie who handed it to you 🫶
  • if_incoming — the interface where this packet was received. where it walked in.
  • if_outgoing — the interface for which the packet should be considered. where it's thinking about walking out 🚪
