=head1 NAME
C<NetPacket> - modules to assemble/disassemble network packets at the
protocol level.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
# NetPacket is a base class only
=head1 DESCRIPTION
C<NetPacket> provides a base class for a cluster of modules related to
decoding and encoding of network protocols. Each C<NetPacket>
descendent module knows how to encode and decode packets for the
network protocol it implements. Consult the documentation for the
module in question for protocol-specific implementation.
Note that there is no inheritance in the C<NetPacket::> cluster of
modules other than each protocol module being a C<NetPacket>. This
was seen to be too restrictive as imposing inheritance relationships
(for example between the IP, UDP and TCP protocols) would make things
like tunneling or other unusual situations difficult.
=head1 WRITING YOUR OWN C<NetPacket::> MODULE
You are encouraged to write additional C<NetPacket::> modules as well
as improve existing ones. Contact the maintainer of the module in
question with your suggestions or changes.
The following sections are a list of suggestions and conventions for
writing a C<NetPacket::> module.
=head2 Naming Conventions
When creating a module in the C<NetPacket::> namespace, it is suggested
that you stick to a couple of conventions when naming packet contents.
This will hopefully lead to a consistent namespace making the
C<NetPacket::> easier to use.
Content names are all lowercase, with underscores separating multiple
words. The following abbreviations are recommended:
Word Abbreviation
--------------------------------
source src
destination dest
checksum cksum
identifier id
version ver
protocol proto
=head2 Required Methods
encode(), decode(), strip()
=head2 Required Fields
Every NetPacket:: object should have the following fields.
=over
=item _parent
A link to the parent C<NetPacket::> object in which this
C<NetPacket::> object is encaulated. This field is undefined if there
is no parent object.
=item _frame
A copy of the raw data of the packet.
=item data
This field should contain the data encapsulated in the packet (i.e any
headers or trailers stripped off) or undef if the packet contains no
data. Note that in this sense, "data" is taken to mean information
not relevant to the particular protocol being decoded. For example,
an ARP packet contains many header fields but no data. A UDP datagram,
however contains header fields and a payload.
