NetPacket::ARP - Assemble and disassemble ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) packets.
version 1.7.2
use NetPacket::ARP; $tcp_obj = NetPacket::ARP->decode($raw_pkt); $tcp_pkt = NetPacket::ARP->encode(params...); # Not implemented
NetPacket::ARP provides a set of routines for assembling and disassembling packets using ARP (Address Resolution Protocol).
NetPacket::ARP
NetPacket::ARP->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::ARP->encode(param => value)
Return a ARP packet encoded with the instance data specified. Not implemented.
NetPacket::ARP::strip([RAW PACKET])
Return the encapsulated data (or payload) contained in the TCP packet. Since no payload data is encapulated in an ARP packet (only instance data), this function returns undef.
The instance data for the NetPacket::ARP object consists of the following fields.
Hardware type.
Protocol type.
Header length.
Protocol length.
One of the following constants:
ARP_OPCODE_REQUEST
ARP_OPCODE_REPLY
RARP_OPCODE_REQUEST
RARP_OPCODE_REPLY
Source hardware address.
Source protocol address.
Target hardware address.
Target protocol address.
none
The following tags group together related exportable items.
:ALL
All the above exportable items.
Print out arp requests on the local network.
