NAME

Net::Packet::ICMPv4 - Internet Control Message Protocol v4 layer 4 object

SYNOPSIS

    use Net::Packet::Consts qw(:icmpv4);
    require Net::Packet::ICMPv4;
 
    # Build echo-request header
    my $echo = Net::Packet::ICMPv4->new(data => '0123456789');
 
    # Build information-request header
    my $info = Net::Packet::ICMPv4->new(
       type => NP_ICMPv4_TYPE_INFORMATION_REQUEST,
       data => '0123456789',
    );
 
    # Build address-mask request header
    my $mask = Net::Packet::ICMPv4->new(
       type => NP_ICMPv4_TYPE_ADDRESS_MASK_REQUEST,
       data => '0123456789',
    );
 
    # Build timestamp request header
    my $timestamp = Net::Packet::ICMPv4->new(
       type => NP_ICMPv4_TYPE_TIMESTAMP_REQUEST,
       data => '0123456789',
    );
    $timestamp->pack;
 
    print 'RAW: '.unpack('H*', $timestamp->raw)."\n";
 
    # Read a raw layer
    my $layer = Net::Packet::ICMPv4->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 ICMPv4 layer.

RFC: ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc792.txt

See also Net::Packet::Layer and Net::Packet::Layer4 for other attributes a nd methods.

ATTRIBUTES

type
code
Type and code fields. See CONSTANTS.
checksum
The checksum of ICMPv4 header.
identifier
Identification number.
sequenceNumber
Sequence number.
originateTimestamp
receiveTimestamp
transmitTimestamp
Three timestamps used by the NP_ICMPv4_TYPE_TIMESTAMP_REQUEST message.
addressMask
Used by the NP_ICMPv4_TYPE_ADDRESS_MASK_REQUEST message.
gateway
Used by the NP_ICMPv4_TYPE_REDIRECT message.
unused
Zero value field used in various ICMP messages.
error
A pointer to a Net::Packet::Frame object, usually set when an ICMP error message has been returned.
data
Additionnal data can be added to an ICMP message, traditionnaly used in NP_ICMPv4_TYPE_ECHO_REQUEST.

METHODS

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

type: NP_ICMPv4_TYPE_ECHO_REQUEST

code: NP_ICMPv4_CODE_ZERO

checksum: 0

identifier: getRandom16bitsInt()

sequenceNumber: getRandom16bitsInt()

originateTimestamp: time()

receiveTimestamp: 0

transmitTimestamp: 0

addressMask: 0

gateway: ``127.0.0.1''

unused: 0

data: ""

recv
Will search for a matching replies in framesSorted or frames from a Net::Packet::Dump object.
getDataLength
Returns the length in bytes of data attribute.
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.
isTypeEchoRequest
isTypeEchoReply
isTypeTimestampRequest
isTypeTimestampReply
isTypeInformationRequest
isTypeInformationReply
isTypeAddressMaskRequest
isTypeAddressMaskReply
isTypeDestinationUnreachable
Returns 1 if the type attribute is of specified type.
