ICMPPacket

A packet carrying ICMP message.

ICMP message formats are vary according to ICMP type. Thus some fields exist in certain types of packet. Any attempt to access nonexistence field raises an exception.

Type, code and cksum fields are valid for any ICMP type.

Super Class:

IPPacket

Methods:

icmp_cksum

Return ICMP checksum.

icmp_code

Return ICMP code.

icmp_data

Return data portion of ICMP_ECHO/ICMP_ECHOREPLY messages as String

icmp_gwaddr

Return gateway address of ICMP_REDIRECT message as IPAddress.

icmp_id

Return identifier.

icmp_ip

Return original IP Datagram as IPPacket.

icmp_lifetime

Return lifetime of ICMP_ROUTERADVERT message.

icmp_nextmtu

Return Next Hop MTU of ICMP_UNREACH_NEEDFRAG message (See rfc1191).

icmp_num_addrs

Return number of addresses of ICMP_ROUTERADVERT message.

icmp_otime
icmp_rtime
icmp_ttime

Return timestamp of ICMP_TSTAMP/ICMP_TSTAMPREPLY message as Time.

icmp_pptr

Return error pointer of ICMP_PARAMPROB message.

icmp_radv(nth)

Return nth address entry of ICMP_ROUTERADVERT message. Returned value is a two elements array [address, preference].

icmp_seq

Return sequence number.

icmp_seqle

Return sequence number interpreted as little endian.

No small portion of ping command implementations write sequence number in host byte order. Thus the sequence number of ICMP messages transmitted from little endian host may be in little endian.

icmp_type

Return ICMP type.

icmp_typestr

Return string describing ICMP type (e.g. "echo reply").

icmp_wpa

Return word per address entry of ICMP_ROUTERADVERT message.
