Net::F...r::PPP(3pm)

💖 Net::Frame::Layer::PPP — the manual, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, so this is Net::Frame::Layer::PPP, a lil Perl module from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection. it does the Point-to-Point Protocol layer. yes THAT PPP. the one your router speaks when it's feeling dramatic on a serial line. let's go 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

Net::Frame::Layer::PPP — Point-to-Point Protocol layer object, fr fr 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bestie here's the whole vibe, copy-paste ready:

use Net::Frame::Layer::PPP qw(:consts);

# Build a layer
my $layer = Net::Frame::Layer::PPP->new(
   address  => 0xff,
   control  => 0x03,
   protocol => NF_PPP_PROTOCOL_IPv4,
);
$layer->pack;

print 'RAW: '.$layer->dump."\n";

# Read a raw layer
my $layer = Net::Frame::Layer::PPP->new(raw => $raw);

print $layer->print."\n";
print 'PAYLOAD: '.unpack('H*', $layer->payload)."\n"
   if $layer->payload;

so you either build a layer and pack it, or you read a raw one and print it. both paths, both iconic 👑

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

this module implements the encoding and decoding of the Point-to-Point Protocol layer. that's the whole job. it does it. slay 💖

also go look at Net::Frame::Layer for other attributes and methods, because this one is literally just a layer in that whole family. iykyk.

---

✨ ATTRIBUTES ✨

here's what you can set on your layer, with their sizes:

• address — 8 bits 🎀
• control — 8 bits 🎀
• protocol — 16 bits 🎀

the following ones are inherited attributes. go read Net::Frame::Layer for more info on them, bestie:

• raw
• payload
• nextLayer

---

✨ METHODS ✨

new

new (hash)

okay so this is the Object constructor 💅 you can pass it attributes and they'll overwrite the default ones. and if you wanna know what the defaults are? check the SYNOPSIS up there, it's all spelled out ✨

the following are inherited methods. heads up: some of them might get overridden in this layer, and some of them might not even mean anything in this layer. no cap. go see Net::Frame::Layer for the full tea:

• layer
• computeLengths
• computeChecksums
• pack
• unpack
• encapsulate
• getLength
• getPayloadLength
• print
• dump

---

✨ CONSTANTS ✨

load them like this, periodt:

use Net::Frame::Layer::PPP qw(:consts);

and here's the lineup — these are the various supported encapsulated layer types 🦋:

• NF_PPP_PROTOCOL_IPv4
• NF_PPP_PROTOCOL_DDP
• NF_PPP_PROTOCOL_IPX
• NF_PPP_PROTOCOL_IPv6
• NF_PPP_PROTOCOL_CDP
• NF_PPP_PROTOCOL_PPPLCP
