NAME

Net::Packet::ARP - Address Resolution Protocol layer 3 object

SYNOPSIS

   use Net::Packet::ARP;

   # Build layer to inject to network
   my $arpRequest = Net::Packet::ARP->new(
      dstIp => "192.168.0.1",
   );

   # Decode from network to create the object
   # Usually, you do not use this, it is used by Net::Packet::Frame
   my $arp = Net::Packet::ARP->new(raw => $rawFromNetwork);

   print $arpRequest->print, "\n";

DESCRIPTION

This modules implements the encoding and decoding of the ARP layer.

RFC: ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc826.txt

See also Net::Packet::Layer and Net::Packet::Layer3 for other attributes and methods.

ATTRIBUTES

hType

pType

Hardware and protocol address types.

hSize

pSize

Hardware and protocol address sizes in bytes.

opCode

The operation code number to perform.

src

dst

Source and destination hardware addresses.

srcIp

dstIp

METHODS

new

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

hType: NP_ARP_HTYPE_ETH

dst: NP_ARP_ADDR_BROADCAST

srcIp: $Env->ip

dstIp: 127.0.0.1

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.

recv

Will search for a matching replies in framesSorted or frames from a Net::Packet::Dump object.

isRequest

isReply

Returns 1 if the opCode attribute is of specified type.

CONSTANTS

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

NP_ARP_HTYPE_ETH
