NAME

Net::Packet::Desc - base class for all desc modules

DESCRIPTION

This is the base class for Net::Packet::DescL2, Net::Packet::DescL3 and Net::Packet::DescL4 modules.

It just provides those layers with inheritable attributes and methods.

A descriptor is required when you want to send frames over network.

dev: Network device to use to send frames. Default to use dev set in default $Env object.
ip: Same as above for IP. This is the source IP address to use.
ip6: Same as above for IPv6. This is the source IPv6 address to use.
mac: Same as above for MAC. This is the source MAC address to use.
gatewayIp: Same as above, for gateway IP address.
gatewayMac: Same as above, for gateway MAC address. It is not automatically set here. It is automatically set only under Windows, when using a Net::Packet::DescL3 object.
target: Used to create a Net::Packet::DescL3 and Net::Packet::DescL4. At these layers, one MUST specifiy the target IP address to tell kernel where to send frames.
targetMac: Used to automatically build layer 2 when using a Net::Packet::DescL3 object under Windows.
protocol: This is the transport protocol to use (TCP, UDP, ...). Used in Net::Packet::DescL4 objects. Default to TCP.
family: Same as abose, to tell which network protocol to use (IPv4, IPv6).

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