Protocol Decodes: IP

## Network Layer Decodes

### Class IP

Provides access to fields in an IPv4 header. Further, you can see any following IP Options by using pkt.Layer3; see the Layers Decode page.

Instance Variables
version | ip.version -> anInteger
| IP Version, 4 for IPv4
hdr_len | ip.hdr_len -> anInteger
| IP Header Length, in 4-byte units
traffic_class | ip.traffic_class -> anInteger
| Originally IPv4 Type-Of-Service, now used for DSCP and ECN. (Traffic Class is its IPv6 name)
pkt_len | ip.pkt_len -> anInteger
| Total Length of IP packet
ident | ip.iden t-> anInteger
| IP Identification
has_rf | ip.has_rf -> true or false
| True if 'Reserved' IP flag is 1
has_df | ip.has_df --> true or false
| True if 'Don't Fragment' IP flag is 1
has_mf | ip.has_mf -> true or false
| True if 'More Fragments' IP flag is 1
frag_offset | ip.frag_offset -> anInteger
| Fragment Offset, in 8-byte units
ttl | ip.ttl -> anInteger
| IP Time to Live (TTL)
proto | ip.proto -> anInteger
| IP Protocol, e.g. 6 = TCP, 17 = UDP, 1 = ICMP
hdr_checksum | ip.hdr_checksum -> anInteger
| IP Header Checksum
src_prefix | ip.src_prefix -> anIPprefix
| IPv4 source address
dst_prefix | ip.dst_prefix -> anIPprefix
| IPv4 destination address
payload | ip.payload -> aByteArray
| Byte array containing the IP object's payload

A few of the fields in an IP object may be set to new values, as follows:

Class set Methods
traffic_class= | ip.traffic_class = anInteger
| Sets the traffic_class value in an IP
ttl= | ip.ttl = anInteger
| Sets the Time to Live (TTL) in an IP
checksum= | ip.checksum = anInteger
| Sets Header Checksum in an IP
src_prefix= | ip.src_prefix = anIPprefix
| Sets the IPv4 source address in an IP
dst_prefix= | ip.dst_prefix = anIPprefix
| Sets the IPv4 destination address in an IP
