Detailed Description

Represents an Ethernet II protocol layer

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

EthLayer() [1/3]

pcpp::EthLayer::EthLayer ( uint8_t *  data, size_t  dataLen, Packet *  packet  )

inline

A constructor that creates the layer from an existing packet raw data

Parameters

[in]	data	A pointer to the raw data (will be casted to ether_header)
[in]	dataLen	Size of the data in bytes
[in]	packet	A pointer to the Packet instance where layer will be stored in

EthLayer() [2/3]

pcpp::EthLayer::EthLayer ( uint8_t *  data, size_t  dataLen, Layer *  prevLayer, Packet *  packet  )

inline

A constructor that creates the layer from an existing packet raw data

Parameters

[in]	data	A pointer to the raw data (will be casted to ether_header)
[in]	dataLen	Size of the data in bytes
[in]	prevLayer	A pointer to the previous layer
[in]	packet	A pointer to the Packet instance where layer will be stored in

EthLayer() [3/3]

pcpp::EthLayer::EthLayer	(	const MacAddress &	sourceMac,
		const MacAddress &	destMac,
		uint16_t	etherType = 0
	)

A constructor that creates a new Ethernet header and allocates the data

Parameters

[in]	sourceMac	The source MAC address
[in]	destMac	The destination MAC address
[in]	etherType	The EtherType to be used. It's an optional parameter, a value of 0 will be set if not provided

Member Function Documentation

computeCalculateFields()

void pcpp::EthLayer::computeCalculateFields ( )

overridevirtual

Calculate ether_header::etherType for known protocols: IPv4, IPv6, ARP, VLAN

Implements pcpp::Layer.

getDestMac()

MacAddress pcpp::EthLayer::getDestMac ( ) const

inline

Get the destination MAC address

Returns

The destination MAC address

getEthHeader()

ether_header* pcpp::EthLayer::getEthHeader ( ) const

inline

Get a pointer to the Ethernet header. Notice this points directly to the data, so every change will change the actual packet data

Returns

A pointer to the ether_header

getHeaderLen()

size_t pcpp::EthLayer::getHeaderLen ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Returns

Size of ether_header

Implements pcpp::Layer.

getOsiModelLayer()

OsiModelLayer pcpp::EthLayer::getOsiModelLayer ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Returns

The OSI Model layer this protocol belongs to

Implements pcpp::Layer.

getSourceMac()

MacAddress pcpp::EthLayer::getSourceMac ( ) const

inline

Get the source MAC address

Returns

The source MAC address

isDataValid()

static bool pcpp::EthLayer::isDataValid ( const uint8_t *  data, size_t  dataLen  )

static

A static method that validates the input data

Parameters

[in]	data	The pointer to the beginning of a byte stream of an Ethernet II packet
[in]	dataLen	The length of the byte stream

Returns

True if the data is valid and can represent an Ethernet II packet

parseNextLayer()

void pcpp::EthLayer::parseNextLayer ( )

overridevirtual

Currently identifies the following next layers: IPv4Layer, IPv6Layer, ArpLayer, VlanLayer, PPPoESessionLayer, PPPoEDiscoveryLayer, MplsLayer. Otherwise sets PayloadLayer

Implements pcpp::Layer.

setDestMac()

void pcpp::EthLayer::setDestMac ( const MacAddress &  destMac )

inline

Set destination MAC address

Parameters

destMac

Destination MAC to set

setSourceMac()

void pcpp::EthLayer::setSourceMac ( const MacAddress &  sourceMac )

inline

Set source MAC address

Parameters

sourceMac

Source MAC to set

toString()

std::string pcpp::EthLayer::toString ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns

A string representation of the layer most important data (should look like the layer description in Wireshark)

Implements pcpp::Layer.
