Overview

This class supports MLDv1 (RFC 2710).

From RFC 2710, a MLD header has the following format:

 0                   1                   2                   3
 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

A MLD header consists of:

Create a MLD header

# standalone
mld = PacketGen::Header::MLD.new
# in a packet
pkt = PacketGen.gen('IPv6').add('ICMPv6').add('MLD')
# access to MLD header
pkt.mld    # => PacketGen::Header::MLD

MLD attributes

pkt.icmpv6.type = 130       # ICMPv6 type 130 is MLD Multicast Listener Query
pkt.mld.max_resp_delay = 20
pkt.mld.group_addr = '::'

Instance Method Details

#added_to_packet(packet) ⇒ Object

This method is part of a private API. You should avoid using this method if possible, as it may be removed or be changed in the future.

Note:

This method is used internally by PacketGen and should not be directly called

Since:

  • 2.4.0

def added_to_packet(packet)
  mld_idx = packet.headers.size
  packet.instance_eval "def mldize() @headers[#{mld_idx}].mldize; end" # def mldize() @headers[3].mldize; end
end

#mldize ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

Fixup IP header according to RFC 2710:

  • set Hop limit to 1,

  • add Router Alert option,

  • recalculate checksum and length.

This method may be called as:

# first method
pkt.mld.mldize
# second method
pkt.mldize

Since:

  • 2.4.0
