NetPacket - modules to assemble/disassemble network packets at the protocol
|
|
level.
|
|
|
|
NetPacket provides a base class for a cluster of modules related to decoding
|
|
and encoding of network protocols. Each NetPacket descendent module knows how
|
|
to encode and decode packets for the network protocol it implements. Consult
|
|
the documentation for the module in question for protocol-specific
|
|
implementation.
|
|
Note that there is no inheritance in the NetPacket:: cluster of modules other
|
|
than each protocol module being a NetPacket. This was seen to be too
|
|
restrictive as imposing inheritance relationships (for example between the IP,
|
|
UDP and TCP protocols) would make things like tunneling or other unusual
|
|
situations difficult.
|
|
|
|
This is not the same module as perl-Net-Packet!
