Detailed Description

Represents Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) v4 protocol layer. This is an abstract class that cannot be instanciated, and contains functionality which is common to all BGP message types.

Member Enumeration Documentation

BgpMessageType

enum pcpp::BgpLayer::BgpMessageType

An enum representing BGP message types

Enumerator
Open	BGP OPEN message
Update	BGP UPDATE message
Notification	BGP NOTIFICATION message
Keepalive	BGP KEEPALIVE message
RouteRefresh	BGP ROUTE-REFRESH message

Member Function Documentation

computeCalculateFields()

void pcpp::BgpLayer::computeCalculateFields ( )

virtual

Calculates the basic BGP fields:

• Set marker to all ones
• Set message type value
• Set message length

Implements pcpp::Layer.

getBgpMessageType()

virtual BgpMessageType pcpp::BgpLayer::getBgpMessageType ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns

BGP message type

Implemented in pcpp::BgpRouteRefreshMessageLayer, pcpp::BgpKeepaliveMessageLayer, pcpp::BgpNotificationMessageLayer, pcpp::BgpUpdateMessageLayer, and pcpp::BgpOpenMessageLayer.

getHeaderLen()

size_t pcpp::BgpLayer::getHeaderLen ( ) const

virtual

Returns

The size of the BGP message

Implements pcpp::Layer.

getMessageTypeAsString()

std::string pcpp::BgpLayer::getMessageTypeAsString

(

)

const

Returns

BGP message type as string. Return value can be one of the following: "OPEN", "UPDATE", "NOTIFICATION", "KEEPALIVE", "ROUTE-REFRESH", "Unknown"

getOsiModelLayer()

OsiModelLayer pcpp::BgpLayer::getOsiModelLayer ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Returns

The OSI Model layer this protocol belongs to

Implements pcpp::Layer.

isBgpPort()

static bool pcpp::BgpLayer::isBgpPort ( uint16_t  portSrc, uint16_t  portDst  )

inlinestatic

A static method that checks whether a source or dest port match those associated with the BGP protocol

Parameters

[in]	portSrc	Source port number to check
[in]	portDst	Dest port number to check

Returns

True if the source or dest port match those associated with the BGP protocol

parseBgpLayer()

static BgpLayer* pcpp::BgpLayer::parseBgpLayer ( uint8_t *  data, size_t  dataLen, Layer *  prevLayer, Packet *  packet  )

static

A method that creates a BGP layer from packet raw data

Parameters

[in]	data	A pointer to the raw data
[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

Returns

A newly allocated BGP layer of one of the following types (according to the message type): BgpOpenMessageLayer, BgpUpdateMessageLayer, BgpNotificationMessageLayer, BgpKeepaliveMessageLayer, BgpRouteRefreshMessageLayer

parseNextLayer()

void pcpp::BgpLayer::parseNextLayer ( )

virtual

Multiple BGP messages can reside in a single packet, and the only layer that can come after a BGP message is another BGP message. This method checks for remaining data and parses it as another BGP layer

Implements pcpp::Layer.

toString()

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

virtual

Returns

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

Implements pcpp::Layer.
