DESCRIPTION

This modules implements the encoding and decoding of the IPv6 Hop-By-Hop options Extension Header layer.

RFC: ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc2460.txt

See also Net::Frame::Layer for other attributes and methods.

ATTRIBUTES

nextHeader

Protocol number of the next header after the HopByHop header.

hdrExtLen

The length of the Hop-By-Hop Options header in 8-byte units, not including the first 8 bytes of the header.

options

A number of Net::Frame::Layer::IPv6::Option objects.

The following are inherited attributes. See Net::Frame::Layer for more information.

raw

payload

nextLayer

METHODS

new
