packet.link.ethernet – ETHERNET module

Description

Decode ethernet layer (RFC 894) Ethernet II.

Classes

class ETHERNET(baseobj.BaseObj)

Ethernet object
Usage:
 from packet.link.ethernet import ETHERNET
 x = ETHERNET(pktt)
Object definition:
ETHERNET(
 dst = MacAddr(), # destination MAC address
 src = MacAddr(), # source MAC address
 type = int, # payload type
 data = string, # raw data of payload if type is not supported
)
Methods defined here:
---------------------
__init__(self, pktt)
Constructor
Initialize object's private data.
pktt:
Packet trace object (packet.pktt.Pktt) so this layer has
access to the parent layers.

__str__(self)
String representation of object
The representation depends on the verbose level set by debug_repr().
If set to 0 the generic object representation is returned.
If set to 1 the representation of the object is condensed:
 '00:0c:29:54:09:ef -> 60:33:4b:29:6e:9d '
If set to 2 the representation of the object also includes the type
of payload:
 '00:0c:29:54:09:ef -> 60:33:4b:29:6e:9d, type: 0x800(IPv4)'
