NAME

       bpqparms - Configure BPQ ethernet devices.

SYNOPSIS

       bpqparms device [-a ethaddr] [-d ethaddr] [-vV]

DESCRIPTION

       Bpqparms  allows  the  setting  of  the	BPQ  Ethernet  options for a particular device. Each BPQ Ethernet device appears as a device named
       bpq0...bpqN which overlays the original Ethernet device, usually eth0...ethN. This device is an AX.25 device driver and allows AX.25 frames
       to be transmitted over an Ethernet to another machine using the same protocol. The default for the device is to send and receive BPQ Ether-
       net packets to the broadcast address. This program replaces the previous "axparms -dev" option.

OPTIONS

       -a ethaddr     Allows the setting of which ethernet address will be accepted by the BPQ Ethernet device.

       -d ethaddr     If specified on its own, will set the destination ethernet address will be used for transmitting and for	receiving  of  BPQ
		      ethernet packets. An address of "broadcast" sets it to the ethernet broadcast address.

       -v	      Displays the version number.

       -V	      The original version messages.

NAME

       NetPacket::Ethernet - Assemble and disassemble ethernet packets.

VERSION

       version 1.3.0

SYNOPSIS

	 use NetPacket::Ethernet;

	 $eth_obj = NetPacket::Ethernet->decode($raw_pkt);
	 $eth_pkt = NetPacket::Ethernet->encode(params...);   # Not implemented
	 $eth_data = NetPacket::Ethernet::strip($raw_pkt);

DESCRIPTION

       "NetPacket::Ethernet" provides a set of routines for assembling and disassembling packets using the Ethernet protocol.

   Methods
       "NetPacket::Ethernet->decode([RAW PACKET])"
	   Decode the raw packet data given and return an object containing instance data.  This method will quite happily decode garbage input.
	   It is the responsibility of the programmer to ensure valid packet data is passed to this method.

       "NetPacket::Ethernet->encode(param => value)"
	   Return an ethernet packet encoded with the instance data specified.	Not implemented.

   Functions
       "NetPacket::Ethernet::strip([RAW PACKET])"
	   Return the encapsulated data (or payload) contained in the ethernet packet.	This data is suitable to be used as input for other
	   "NetPacket::*" modules.

	   This function is equivalent to creating an object using the "decode()" constructor and returning the "data" field of that object.

   Instance data
       The instance data for the "NetPacket::Ethernet" object consists of the following fields.

       src_mac
	   The source MAC address for the ethernet packet as a hex string.

       dest_mac
	   The destination MAC address for the ethernet packet as a hex string.

       type
	   The protocol type for the ethernet packet.

       data
	   The payload for the ethernet packet.

   Exports
       default
	   none

       exportable
	   ETH_TYPE_IP ETH_TYPE_ARP ETH_TYPE_APPLETALK ETH_TYPE_SNMP ETH_TYPE_IPv6 ETH_TYPE_PPP

       tags
	   The following tags group together related exportable items.

	   ":types"
	       ETH_TYPE_IP ETH_TYPE_ARP ETH_TYPE_APPLETALK ETH_TYPE_SNMP ETH_TYPE_IPv6 ETH_TYPE_PPP

	   ":strip"
	       Import the strip function "eth_strip" which is an alias for "NetPacket::Ethernet::strip"

	   ":ALL"
	       All the above exportable items.

EXAMPLE

       The following script dumps ethernet frames by mac address and protocol to standard output.

	 #!/usr/bin/perl -w

	 use strict;
	 use Net::PcapUtils;
	 use NetPacket::Ethernet;

	 sub process_pkt {
	     my($arg, $hdr, $pkt) = @_;

	     my $eth_obj = NetPacket::Ethernet->decode($pkt);
	     print("$eth_obj->{src_mac}:$eth_obj->{dest_mac} $eth_obj->{type}
");
	 }

	 Net::PcapUtils::loop(&process_pkt);

TODO

       Implement "encode()" function
