NAME

Net::Packet::SLL - Linux cooked capture layer 2 object

SYNOPSIS

   #
   # Usually, you do not use this module directly
   #
   use Net::Packet::Consts qw(:sll);
   require Net::Packet::SLL;

   # Build a layer
   my $layer = Net::Packet::SLL->new;
   $layer->pack;

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

   # Read a raw layer
   my $layer = Net::Packet::SLL->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 Linux cooked capture layer.

See also Net::Packet::Layer and Net::Packet::Layer2 for other attributes and methods.

ATTRIBUTES

packetType: Stores the packet type (unicast to us, sent by us ...).
addressType: The address type.
addressLength: The length of the previously specified address.
source: Source address.
protocol: Encapsulated protocol.

METHODS

new

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

packetType: NP_SLL_PACKET_TYPE_SENT_BY_US

addressType: NP_SLL_ADDRESS_TYPE_512

addressLength: 0

source: 0

protocol: NP_SLL_PROTOCOL_IPv4

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.

isProtocolIpv4

isProtocolIpv6

isProtocolIp - is type IPv4 or IPv6

Helper methods. Return true is the encapsulated layer is of specified type, false otherwise.

CONSTANTS

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

NP_SLL_PACKET_TYPE_SENT_BY_US
NP_SLL_PACKET_TYPE_UNICAST_TO_US: Various possible packet types.
NP_SLL_PROTOCOL_IPv4

NP_SLL_PROTOCOL_ARP
NP_SLL_PROTOCOL_VLAN: Various supported encapsulated layer types.
NP_SLL_HDR_LEN
NP_SLL_ADDRESS_TYPE_512
