Net::Packet::SLL - Linux cooked capture layer 2 object

   #
   # Usually, you do not use this module directly
   #
   use Net::Packet::Consts qw(:sll);
   require Net::Packet::SLL;

   # Build a layer
   my $layer = Net::Packet::SLL->new;
   $layer->pack;

   print 'RAW: '.unpack('H*', $layer->raw)."\n";

   # Read a raw layer
   my $layer = Net::Packet::SLL->new(raw => $raw);

   print $layer->print."\n";
   print 'PAYLOAD: '.unpack('H*', $layer->payload)."\n"
      if $layer->payload;

This modules implements the encoding and decoding of the Linux cooked capture layer.

See also Net::Packet::Layer and Net::Packet::Layer2 for other attributes and methods.

packetType

Stores the packet type (unicast to us, sent by us ...).

addressType

The address type.

addressLength

The length of the previously specified address.

source

Source address.

protocol

Encapsulated protocol.

new

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

packetType: NP_SLL_PACKET_TYPE_SENT_BY_US

addressType: NP_SLL_ADDRESS_TYPE_512

addressLength: 0

source: 0

protocol: NP_SLL_PROTOCOL_IPv4

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.

isProtocolIpv4

isProtocolIpv6

isProtocolIp - is type IPv4 or IPv6

Helper methods. Return true is the encapsulated layer is of specified type, false otherwise.

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