NAME

NetPacket::ICMP - Assemble and disassemble ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) packets.

SYNOPSIS

  use NetPacket::ICMP;

  $icmp_obj = NetPacket::ICMP->decode($raw_pkt);
  $icmp_pkt = NetPacket::ICMP->encode(params...);   # Not implemented
  $icmp_data = NetPacket::ICMP::strip($raw_pkt);

DESCRIPTION

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

Methods

NetPacket::ICMP->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::IGMP->encode(param => value)

Return an IGMP packet encoded with the instance data specified. Not implemented.

Functions

NetPacket::IGMP::strip([RAW PACKET])

Return the encapsulated data (or payload) contained in the ICMP packet.

Instance data

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

type

The ICMP message type of this packet.

code

The ICMP message code of this packet.

cksum

The checksum for this packet.

data

The encapsulated data (payload) for this packet.

Exports

tags

The following tags group together related exportable items.

:strip

Import the strip function icmp_strip.

:ALL

All the above exportable items.
