NAME

       Net::Write::Layer3 - object for a network layer (layer 3) descriptor

SYNOPSIS

          use Net::Write::Layer qw(:constants);
          use Net::Write::Layer3;

          my $desc = Net::Write::Layer3->new(
             dst      => '192.168.0.1',
             protocol => NW_IPPROTO_RAW,
             family   => NW_AF_INET,
          );

          $desc->open;
          $desc->send('G'x666);
          $desc->close;

DESCRIPTION

       This is the class for creating a layer 3 descriptor.

ATTRIBUTES

       dst The target IPv4 or IPv6 address we will send frames to.

       family
           Address family, see Net::Write::Layer CONSTANTS section.

       protocol
           Transport layer protocol to use, see Net::Write::Layer CONSTANTS section.

METHODS

       new Object constructor. You MUST pass a valid dst attribute. Default values:

           protocol: NW_IPPROTO_RAW

           family:   NW_AF_INET

           Returns undef on error.

       open
           Open the interface. Returns undef on error.

       send (scalar)
           Send raw data to the network.

       close
           Close the descriptor.

CAVEATS

       Sending  IPv6  frames  does  not work under BSD systems. They can't do IP_HDRINCL for IPv6. For now, only
       Linux supports this (at least, with a 2.6.x kernel).

       Does not work at all under Win32 systems. They can't send frames at layer 3 (or I don't know  how  to  do
       that).
