data	IPv6 options.

class os_ken.lib.packet.ipv6.fragment(nxt=6, offset=0, more=0, id_=0)¶

IPv6 (RFC 2460) fragment header encoder/decoder class.

This is used with os_ken.lib.packet.ipv6.ipv6.

An instance has the following attributes at least. Most of them are same to the on-wire counterparts but in host byte order. __init__ takes the corresponding args in this order.

Attribute	Description
nxt	Next Header
offset	offset, in 8-octet units, relative to the start of the fragmentable part of the original packet.
more	1 means more fragments follow; 0 means last fragment.
id_	packet identification value.

class os_ken.lib.packet.ipv6.header(nxt)¶

extension header abstract class.

class os_ken.lib.packet.ipv6.hop_opts(nxt=6, size=0, data=None)¶

IPv6 (RFC 2460) Hop-by-Hop Options header encoder/decoder class.

This is used with os_ken.lib.packet.ipv6.ipv6.

An instance has the following attributes at least. Most of them are same to the on-wire counterparts but in host byte order. __init__ takes the corresponding args in this order.

Attribute	Description
nxt	Next Header
size	the length of the Hop-by-Hop Options header, not include the first 8 octet.
data	IPv6 options.

class os_ken.lib.packet.ipv6.ipv6(version=6, traffic_class=0, flow_label=0, payload_length=0, nxt=6, hop_limit=255, src='10::10', dst='20::20', ext_hdrs=None)¶

IPv6 (RFC 2460) header encoder/decoder class.

An instance has the following attributes at least. Most of them are same to the on-wire counterparts but in host byte order. IPv6 addresses are represented as a string like 'ff02::1'. __init__ takes the corresponding args in this order.

Attribute	Description	Example
version	Version
traffic_class	Traffic Class
flow_label	When decoding, Flow Label. When encoding, the most significant 8 bits of Flow Label.
payload_length	Payload Length
nxt	Next Header
hop_limit	Hop Limit
src	Source Address	'ff02::1'
dst	Destination Address	'::'
ext_hdrs	Extension Headers

classmethod parser(buf)¶

Decode a protocol header.

This method is used only when decoding a packet.

Decode a protocol header at offset 0 in bytearray buf. Returns the following three objects.

• An object to describe the decoded header.
• A packet_base.PacketBase subclass appropriate for the rest of the packet. None when the rest of the packet should be considered as raw payload.
• The rest of packet.

serialize(payload, prev)¶

Encode a protocol header.

This method is used only when encoding a packet.

Encode a protocol header. Returns a bytearray which contains the header.

payload is the rest of the packet which will immediately follow this header.

prev is a packet_base.PacketBase subclass for the outer protocol header. prev is None if the current header is the outer-most. For example, prev is ipv4 or ipv6 for tcp.serialize.

class os_ken.lib.packet.ipv6.opt_header(nxt, size, data)¶

an abstract class for Hop-by-Hop Options header and destination header.

class os_ken.lib.packet.ipv6.option(type_=0, len_=-1, data=None)¶

IPv6 (RFC 2460) Options header encoder/decoder class.

This is used with os_ken.lib.packet.ipv6.hop_opts or

os_ken.lib.packet.ipv6.dst_opts.

An instance has the following attributes at least. Most of them are same to the on-wire counterparts but in host byte order. __init__ takes the corresponding args in this order.

Attribute	Description
type_	option type.
len_	the length of data. -1 if type_ is 0.
data	an option value. None if len_ is 0 or -1.

class os_ken.lib.packet.ipv6.routing(nxt)¶

An IPv6 Routing Header decoder class. This class has only the parser method.
