NAME

Net::Frame::Layer::PPP - Point-to-Point Protocol layer object

SYNOPSIS

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;
