NetPacket::IGMP(3) Assemble and disassemble IGMP (Internet Group Mangement Protocol) packets.

VERSION

version 1.6.0

SYNOPSIS


use NetPacket::IGMP;
$igmp_obj = NetPacket::IGMP->decode($raw_pkt);
$igmp_pkt = NetPacket::IGMP->encode(params...); # Not implemented
$igmp_data = NetPacket::IGMP::strip($raw_pkt);

DESCRIPTION

"NetPacket::IGMP" provides a set of routines for assembling and disassembling packets using IGMP (Internet Group Mangement Protocol).

Methods

"NetPacket::IGMP->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 IGMP packet. This function returns undef as there is no encapsulated data in an IGMP packet.

Instance data

The instance data for the "NetPacket::IGMP" object consists of the following fields.
version
The IGMP version of this packet.
type
The message type for this packet.
len
The length (including length of header) in bytes for this packet.
subtype
The message subtype for this packet.
cksum
The checksum for this packet.
group_addr
The group address specified in this packet.
data
The encapsulated data (payload) for this packet.

EXAMPLE

The following script dumps UDP frames by IP address and UDP port to standard output. 

  #!/usr/bin/perl -w
  use strict;
  use Net::PcapUtils;
  use NetPacket::Ethernet qw(:strip);
  use NetPacket::IP;
  use NetPacket::IGMP;
  sub process_pkt {
      my($arg, $hdr, $pkt) = @_;
      my $ip_obj = NetPacket::IP->decode(eth_strip($pkt));
      my $igmp_obj = NetPacket::IGMP->decode($ip_obj->{data});
      print("$ip_obj->{src_ip} -> $ip_obj->{dest_ip} ",
            "$igmp_obj->{type}/$igmp_obj->{subtype} ",
            "$igmp_obj->{group_addr}\n");
  }
  Net::PcapUtils::loop(\&process_pkt, FILTER => 'igmp');

TODO

Implement encode() function
