Detailed Description

Packet header for PPP.

Introspection did not find any typical Config paths.

This class can be used to add a header to PPP packet. Currently we do not implement any of the state machine in RFC 1661, we just encapsulate the inbound packet send it on. The goal here is not really to implement the point-to-point protocol, but to encapsulate our packets in a known protocol so packet sniffers can parse them.

if PPP is transmitted over a serial link, it will typically be framed in some way derivative of IBM SDLC (HDLC) with all that that entails. Thankfully, we don't have to deal with all of that – we can use our own protocol for getting bits across the serial link which we call an ns3 Packet. What we do have to worry about is being able to capture PPP frames which are understandable by Wireshark. All this means is that we need to teach the PcapWriter about the appropriate data link type (DLT_PPP = 9), and we need to add a PPP header to each packet. Since we are not using framed PPP, this just means prepending the sixteen bit PPP protocol number to the packet. The ns-3 way to do this is via a class that inherits from class Header.

No Attributes are defined for this type.
No TraceSources are defined for this type.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ PppHeader()

ns3::PppHeader::PppHeader ( )

Construct a PPP header.

Definition at line 32 of file ppp-header.cc.

◆ ~PppHeader()

ns3::PppHeader::~PppHeader ( )

virtual

Destroy a PPP header.

Definition at line 36 of file ppp-header.cc.

Member Function Documentation

◆ Deserialize()

uint32_t ns3::PppHeader::Deserialize ( Buffer::Iterator start )

virtual

Parameters

start an iterator which points to where the header should read from.

Returns: the number of bytes read.

This method is used by Packet::RemoveHeader to re-create a header from the byte buffer of a packet. The data read is expected to match bit-for-bit the representation of this header in real networks.

Note that data is not actually removed from the buffer to which the iterator points. Both Packet::RemoveHeader() and Packet::PeekHeader() call Deserialize(), but only the RemoveHeader() has additional statements to remove the header bytes from the underlying buffer and associated metadata.

Implements ns3::Header.

Definition at line 89 of file ppp-header.cc.

References GetSerializedSize(), m_protocol, and visualizer.core::start().

◆ GetInstanceTypeId()

TypeId ns3::PppHeader::GetInstanceTypeId ( void ) const

virtual

Get the TypeId of the instance.

Returns: The TypeId for this instance

Implements ns3::ObjectBase.

Definition at line 52 of file ppp-header.cc.

References GetTypeId().

◆ GetProtocol()

uint16_t ns3::PppHeader::GetProtocol ( void )

Get the protocol type carried by this PPP packet.

The type numbers to be used are defined in RFC 3818

Returns: the protocol type being carried

Definition at line 102 of file ppp-header.cc.

References m_protocol.

Referenced by ns3::PointToPointNetDevice::ProcessHeader().

◆ GetSerializedSize()

uint32_t ns3::PppHeader::GetSerializedSize ( void ) const

virtual

Returns: the expected size of the header.

This method is used by Packet::AddHeader to store a header into the byte buffer of a packet. This method should return the number of bytes which are needed to store the full header data by Serialize.

Implements ns3::Header.

Definition at line 77 of file ppp-header.cc.

Referenced by Deserialize().

◆ GetTypeId()

TypeId ns3::PppHeader::GetTypeId ( void )

static

Get the TypeId.

Returns: The TypeId for this class

Definition at line 41 of file ppp-header.cc.

References ns3::TypeId::SetParent().

Referenced by GetInstanceTypeId().

◆ Print()

void ns3::PppHeader::Print ( std::ostream & os ) const

virtual

Parameters

os output stream This method is used by Packet::Print to print the content of a header as ascii data to a c++ output stream. Although the header is free to format its output as it wishes, it is recommended to follow a few rules to integrate with the packet pretty printer: start with flags, small field values located between a pair of parens. Values should be separated by whitespace. Follow the parens with the important fields, separated by whitespace. i.e.: (field1 val1 field2 val2 field3 val3) field4 val4 field5 val5

Implements ns3::Header.

Definition at line 58 of file ppp-header.cc.

References m_protocol, and NS_ASSERT_MSG().

◆ Serialize()

void ns3::PppHeader::Serialize ( Buffer::Iterator start ) const

virtual

Parameters

start an iterator which points to where the header should be written.

This method is used by Packet::AddHeader to store a header into the byte buffer of a packet. The data written is expected to match bit-for-bit the representation of this header in a real network.

Implements ns3::Header.

Definition at line 83 of file ppp-header.cc.

References m_protocol, and visualizer.core::start().

◆ SetProtocol()

void ns3::PppHeader::SetProtocol ( uint16_t protocol )

Set the protocol type carried by this PPP packet.

The type numbers to be used are defined in RFC 3818

Parameters

protocol the protocol type being carried
