Detailed Description

Packet header for UDP packets.


Introspection did not find any typical Config paths.

This class has fields corresponding to those in a network UDP header (port numbers, payload size, checksum) as well as methods for serialization to and deserialization from a byte buffer.


No Attributes are defined for this type.
No TraceSources are defined for this type.
Size of this type is 64 bytes (on a 64-bit architecture).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ UdpHeader()

ns3::UdpHeader::UdpHeader ( )

Constructor.

Creates a null header

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

◆ ~UdpHeader()

ns3::UdpHeader::~UdpHeader ( )

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

References m_destinationPort, m_payloadSize, and m_sourcePort.

Member Function Documentation

◆ CalculateHeaderChecksum()

uint16_t ns3::UdpHeader::CalculateHeaderChecksum ( uint16_t  size) const
private

◆ Deserialize()

uint32_t ns3::UdpHeader::Deserialize ( Buffer::Iterator  start)
virtual
Parameters
startan 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.

◆ EnableChecksums()

void ns3::UdpHeader::EnableChecksums ( void  )

Enable checksum calculation for UDP.

Definition at line 49 of file udp-header.cc.

References m_calcChecksum.

Referenced by ns3::SixLowPanNetDevice::DecompressLowPanUdpNhc(), ns3::UdpL4Protocol::Receive(), and ns3::UdpL4Protocol::Send().

◆ ForceChecksum()

void ns3::UdpHeader::ForceChecksum ( uint16_t  checksum)

Force the UDP checksum to a given value.

This might be useful for test purposes or to restore the UDP checksum when the UDP header has been compressed (e.g., in 6LoWPAN). Note that, normally, the header checksum is calculated on the fly when the packet is serialized.

When this option is used, the UDP checksum is written in the header, regardless of the global ChecksumEnabled option.

Note
The checksum value must be a big endian number.
Parameters
checksumthe checksum to use (big endian).

Definition at line 142 of file udp-header.cc.

References m_checksum.

Referenced by ns3::SixLowPanNetDevice::DecompressLowPanUdpNhc().

◆ ForcePayloadSize()

void ns3::UdpHeader::ForcePayloadSize ( uint16_t  payloadSize)

Force the UDP payload length to a given value.

This might be useful when forging a packet for test purposes.

Parameters
payloadSizethe payload length to use.

Definition at line 148 of file udp-header.cc.

References m_payloadSize.

◆ GetChecksum()

uint16_t ns3::UdpHeader::GetChecksum ( )

Return the checksum (only known after a Deserialize)

Returns
The checksum for this UdpHeader

◆ GetDestinationPort()

uint16_t ns3::UdpHeader::GetDestinationPort ( void  ) const

◆ GetInstanceTypeId()

TypeId ns3::UdpHeader::GetInstanceTypeId ( void  ) const
virtual

Get the most derived TypeId for this Object.

This method is typically implemented by ns3::Object::GetInstanceTypeId but some classes which derive from ns3::ObjectBase directly have to implement it themselves.

Returns
The TypeId associated to the most-derived type of this instance.

Implements ns3::ObjectBase.

Definition at line 164 of file udp-header.cc.

References GetTypeId().

◆ GetSerializedSize()

uint32_t ns3::UdpHeader::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.

Referenced by Deserialize(), ns3::Rip::DoSendRouteUpdate(), ns3::RipNg::DoSendRouteUpdate(), ns3::Rip::HandleRequests(), ns3::RipNg::HandleRequests(), and Print().

uint8_t  protocol 
)
Parameters
sourcethe ip source to use in the underlying ip packet.
destinationthe ip destination to use in the underlying ip packet.
protocolthe protocol number to use in the underlying ip packet.

◆ Print()

void ns3::UdpHeader::Print ( std::ostream &  os) const
virtual
Parameters
osoutput 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.

void ns3::UdpHeader::Serialize ( Buffer::Iterator  start) const
virtual
Parameters
startan 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.
