NAME

NetPacket::ICMPv6 - Assemble and disassemble ICMPv6 (Internet Control Message Protocol for IPv6) packets.

VERSION

version 1.7.2

SYNOPSIS

  use NetPacket::ICMPv6;
  $icmpv6_obj = NetPacket::ICMPv6->decode($raw_pkt);
  $icmpv6_pkt = NetPacket::ICMPv6->encode($ipv6_pkt);
  $icmpv6_data = NetPacket::ICMPv6::strip($raw_pkt);

DESCRIPTION

"NetPacket::ICMPv6" provides a set of routines for assembling and disassembling packets using ICMPv6 (Internet Control Message Protocol for IPv6).

Methods

"NetPacket::ICMPv6->decode([RAW PACKET])": Decode the raw packet data given and return an object containing instance data. This method will quite happily decode garbage input. It is the responsibility of the programmer to ensure valid packet data is passed to this method.
"NetPacket::ICMPv6->encode($ipv6_obj)": Return an ICMPv6 packet encoded with the instance data specified. Needs parts of the IPv6 header contained in $ipv6_obj in order to calculate the ICMPv6 checksum.

Functions

"NetPacket::ICMPv6::strip([RAW PACKET])": Return the encapsulated data (or payload) contained in the ICMPv6 packet.

Instance data

The instance data for the "NetPacket::ICMPv6" object consists of the following fields.

type: The ICMPv6 message type of this packet.
code: The ICMPv6 message code of this packet.
cksum: The checksum for this packet.
data: The encapsulated data (payload) for this packet.
