Detailed Description

Packet handling class using Linux Packet Filtering.

This class provides methods to send and receive DHCPv4 messages using raw sockets and Linux Packet Filtering. It is used by isc::dhcp::IfaceMgr to send DHCPv4 messages to the hosts which don't have an IPv4 address assigned yet.

Member Function Documentation

virtual bool isc::dhcp::PktFilterLPF::isDirectResponseSupported ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Check if packet can be sent to the host without address directly.

This class supports direct responses to the host without address.

Returns

true always.

Implements isc::dhcp::PktFilter.

SocketInfo isc::dhcp::PktFilterLPF::openSocket ( Iface &  iface, const isc::asiolink::IOAddress &  addr, const uint16_t  port, const bool  receive_bcast, const bool  send_bcast  )

virtual

Open primary and fallback socket.

Parameters

iface	Interface descriptor.
addr	Address on the interface to be used to send packets.
port	Port number.
receive_bcast	Configure socket to receive broadcast messages
send_bcast	Configure socket to send broadcast messages.

Returns

A structure describing a primary and fallback socket.
