Net::Packet::IPv6 - Internet Protocol v6 layer 3 object

use Net::Packet::IPv6;
# Build layer to inject to network
my $ip6 = Net::Packet::IPv6->new(
dst => $hostname6,
);
# Decode from network to create the object
# Usually, you do not use this, it is used by Net::Packet::Frame
my $ip6Decoded = Net::Packet::IPv6->new(raw = $rawFromNetwork);
print $ip6->print, "\n";

This modules implements the encoding and decoding of the IPv6 layer.

See also Net::Packet::Layer and Net::Packet::Layer3 for other attributes and methods.

Version of Internet Protocol header.
Traffic class field.
Flow label class field. Was IP ID in IPv4.
The type of next header. Was protocol in IPv4.
Length in bytes of encapsulated layers (that is, layer 4 + layer 7).
Was TTL field in IPv4.
Source and destination addresses.

Object constructor. You can pass attributes that will overwrite default ones. Default values:
version: 6
trafficClass: 0
flowLabel: 0
nextHeader: NP_IPv6_PROTOCOL_TCP
hopLimit: 0xff
src: $Env->ip6
dst: '::1'
Returns the length in bytes of encapsulated layers (that is layer 4 + layer 7).
Packs all attributes into a raw format, in order to inject to network. Returns 1 on success, undef otherwise.
Unpacks raw data from network and stores attributes into the object. Returns 1 on success, undef otherwise.

Load them: use Net::Packet::Consts qw(:ipv6);
