NAME

Net::Packet::TCP - Transmission Control Protocol layer 4 object

SYNOPSIS

use Net::Packet::Consts qw(:tcp);
require Net::Packet::TCP;

# Build a layer
my $layer = Net::Packet::TCP->new(
   dst     => 22,
   options => "\x02\x04\x05\xb4", # MSS=1460
);
$layer->pack;

print 'RAW: '.unpack('H*', $layer->raw)."\n";

# Read a raw layer
my $layer = Net::Packet::TCP->new(raw => $raw);

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

DESCRIPTION

This modules implements the encoding and decoding of the TCP layer.

RFC: ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc793.txt

See also Net::Packet::Layer and Net::Packet::Layer4 for other attributes and methods.

ATTRIBUTES

src

dst

Source and destination ports.

flags

TCP flags, see CONSTANTS.

win

The window size.

seq

ack

Sequence and acknowledgment numbers.

off

The size in number of words of the TCP header.

x2

Reserved field.

checksum

The TCP header checksum.

urp
