A IPv6 header consists of:

• a first 32-bit word (#u32, of Types::Int32 type) composed of:

  • a 4-bit #version field,

  • a 8-bit #traffic_class field,

  • a 20-bit #flow_label field,

• a payload length field (#length, Types::Int16 type}),

• a next header field (#next, Types::Int8 type),

• a hop-limit field (#hop, Int8 type),

• a source address field (#src, Addr type),

• a destination address field (#dst, IPv6::Addr type),

• and a #body (Types::String type).

Create a IPv6 header

# standalone
ipv6 = PacketGen::Header::IPv6.new
# in a packet
pkt = PacketGen.gen('IPv6')
# access to IPv6 header
pkt.ipv6   # => PacketGen::Header::IPv6

IPv6 attributes

ipv6.u32 = 0x60280001
# the same as
ipv6.version = 6
ipv6.traffic_class = 2
ipv6.flow_label = 0x80001

ipv6.length = 0x43
ipv6.hop = 0x40
ipv6.next = 6
ipv6.src = '::1'
ipv6.src                # => "::1"
ipv6[:src]              # => PacketGen::Header::IPv6::Addr
ipv6.dst = '2001:1234:5678:abcd::123'
ipv6.body.read 'this is a body'

Add IPv6 extensions

In IPv6, optional extensions are encoded in separate headers that may be placed between the IPv6 header and the upper-layer header.

In PacketGen, a IPv6 extension is processedf as a classical header:

pkt = PacketGen.gen('IPv6')
# Add a HopByHop extension
pkt.add('IPv6::HopByHop')
pkt.ipv6_hopbyhop.options << { type: 'router_alert', value: [0].pack('n') }
# Add another header
pkt.add('UDP')
