NAME

Net::Packet::ARP - Address Resolution Protocol layer 3 object

SYNOPSIS

   use Net::Packet::Consts qw(:arp);
   require Net::Packet::ARP;

   # Build a layer
   my $layer = Net::Packet::ARP->new(
      dstIp => "192.168.0.1",
   );
   $layer->pack;

   print 'RAW: '.unpack('H*', $layer->raw)."\n";

   # Read a raw layer
   my $layer = Net::Packet::ARP->new(raw => $raw);

   print $layer->print."\n";
   print 'PAYLOAD: '.unpack('H*', $layer->payload)."\n"
      if $layer->payload;

DESCRIPTION

This modules implements the encoding and decoding of the ARP layer.

RFC: ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc826.txt

See also Net::Packet::Layer and Net::Packet::Layer3 for other attributes and methods.

ATTRIBUTES

hType
pType: Hardware and protocol address types.
hSize
pSize: Hardware and protocol address sizes in bytes.
opCode: The operation code number to perform.
src
dst: Source and destination hardware addresses.
srcIp
dstIp: Source and destination IP addresses.

METHODS

new

Object constructor. You can pass attributes that will overwrite default ones. Default values:

hType: NP_ARP_HTYPE_ETH

pType: NP_ARP_PTYPE_IPv4

hSize: NP_ARP_HSIZE_ETH

pSize: NP_ARP_PSIZE_IPv4

opCode: NP_ARP_OPCODE_REQUEST

src: $Env->mac

dst: NP_ARP_ADDR_BROADCAST

srcIp: $Env->ip

dstIp: 127.0.0.1

pack

Packs all attributes into a raw format, in order to inject to network. Returns 1 on success, undef otherwise.

unpack

Unpacks raw data from network and stores attributes into the object. Returns 1 on success, undef otherwise.

recv

Will search for a matching replies in framesSorted or frames from a Net::Packet::Dump object.

isRequest

isReply

Returns 1 if the opCode attribute is of specified type.

CONSTANTS

Load them: use Net::Packet::Consts qw(:arp);

NP_ARP_HTYPE_ETH
NP_ARP_PTYPE_IPv4: Hardware and protocol address types.
NP_ARP_HSIZE_ETH
NP_ARP_PSIZE_IPv4: Hardware and protocol address sizes.
NP_ARP_OPCODE_REQUEST
NP_ARP_OPCODE_REPLY: Operation code numbers.
NP_ARP_ADDR_BROADCAST: Broadcast address for src or dst attributes.
