UDP

class os_ken.lib.packet.udp.udp(src_port=1, dst_port=1, total_length=0, csum=0)

UDP (RFC 768) 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. __init__ takes the corresponding args in this order.

Attribute	Description
src_port	Source Port
dst_port	Destination Port
total_length	Length (0 means automatically-calculate when encoding)
csum	Checksum (0 means automatically-calculate when encoding)

static get_packet_type(src_port, dst_port)

Per-protocol dict-like get method.

Provided for convenience of protocol implementers. Internal use only.

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.
