AF_PACKET编程(Linux)

cloud
NAME
packet, PF_PACKET - packet interface on device level.
SYNOPSIS
#include
#include
packet_socket = socket(PF_PACKET, socket_type, protocol);
DESCRIPTION
Packet sockets are used to receive or send raw packets on the device
driver (OSI Layer 2) level. They allow the user to implement protocol mod-
ules in user space on top of the physical layer.
socket_type is either SOCK_RAW for raw packets including the link level
header or SOCK_DGRAM for cooked packets with the link level header
removed. The link level header informations are available in a common for-
mat in a sockaddr_ll. protocol is the IEEE 802.3 protocol number in net-
work order. See the include file for a list of allowed
protocols. All incoming packets with that protocol will be first passed
to the packet socket, after that to the other protocols implemented in the
kernel.
Only processes with effective uid 0 or the CAP_NET_RAW attribute set may
open packet sockets.
There are two types of packet sockets: SOCK_RAW and SOCK_DGRAM. SOCK_RAW
is directly passed to and from the device driver without any changes in
the packet data. The user program has to know about the physical header
structure of the device to properly set up and parse the packet. The
address is still parsed and passed in a standard sockaddr_ll address
structure. SOCK_RAW is similar but not compatible to the obsolete
SOCK_PACKET of Linux 2.0.
SOCK_DGRAM operates on a slightly higher level. The physical header is
removed before passing the packet to the user (and prepended before send-
ing it).
Per default all packets with the specified protocol received from any
interface are passed to a packet socket. To only get packets from a spe-
cific interface use bind(2) with a sockaddr_ll address to bind the packet
to an interface.
For sending to SOCK_RAW sockets the user supplied buffer has to contain
the complete packet including the physical layer header. That packet is
then queued unmodified to the network driver of the interface defined by
the destination address. Packets sent through a SOCK_DGRAM packet socket
get a suitable physical layer header based on the information in the sock-
addr_ll destination address before they are queued.
ADDRESS TYPES
The sockaddr_ll is a device independent physical layer address.
struct sockaddr_ll
{
unsigned short sll_family; /* Always AF_PACKET */
unsigned short sll_protocol;/* Physical layer protocol in network order */
int sll_ifindex;/* Interface number */
unsigned short sll_hatype; /* Header type */
unsigned char sll_pkttype;/* Packet type */
unsigned char sll_halen; /* Length of address */
unsigned char sll_addr[8];/* Physical layer address */
};
sll_protocol is standard ethernet protocol type in network order as
defined in the sys/if_ether.h include file. sll_hatype is a ARP type as
defined in the sys/if_arp.h include file. sll_pkttype contains the packet
type. Valid types are PACKET_HOST for a packet addressed to the local
host, PACKET_BROADCAST for a physical layer broadcasted packet,
PACKET_MULTICAST for a packet sent to a physical layer multicast address,
PACKET_OTHERHOST for a packet to some other host that has been caught by a
device driver in promiscuous mode, and PACKET_OUTGOING for a packet origi-
nated from the local host that is looped back to a packet socket.
sll_halen and sll_addr contain the physical layer (e.g. IEEE 802.3)
address and its length.
MULTICAST AND PROMISCUOUS MODE SUPPORT
Linux 2.2 supports a new way to configure physical layer multicasting and
promiscuous mode over packet sockets. It works by calling setsockopt(2) on
a packet socket for SOL_PACKET and one of the options PACKET_ADD_MEMBER-
SHIP or PACKET_DROP_MEMBERSHIP. They both expect a packet_mreq structure
as argument:
struct packet_mreq
{
intmr_ifindex; /* interface index */
unsigned shortmr_type; /* mreq type as defined below */
unsigned shortmr_alen; /* address length */
unsigned charmr_address[8]; /* physical layer address */
};
mr_interface contains the interface index for the interface whose status
should be changed. Valid options for mr_type are PACKET_MR_MULTICAST to
bind the socket to the physical layer multicast group specified in
mr_address and mr_alen, PACKET_MR_PROMISC to enable promiscuous mode on
the interface to receive all packets on a shared medium, PACKET_MR_ALL-
MULTI sets the socket up to receive all multicast packets arriving at the
interface. PACKET_DROP_MEMBERSHIP removes the binding or setting.
IOCTLS
These ioctls can be accessed using ioctl(2). The correct syntax is error
= ioctl(tcp_socket, ioctl_type, value_ptr);
SIOCGSTAMP Return a struct timeval with the receive timestamp of the last
packet passed to the user. This is useful for accurate round trip time
measurements and the like. See setitimer(2) for a description of struct
timeval.
FIOCSETOWN and SIOCSPGRP set the process or process group (negative value)
to send SIGIO to when an asynchronous IO operation has finished. Argument
is a pid_t.
FIOCGETOWN and SIOCGPGRP get the current process or process group that
receive SIGIOs, or 0 when none is set. Argument is a pid_t.
In addition you may pass all network device ioctls.
ERROR HANDLING
Packet sockets do no error handling other than errors occurred while pass-
ing the packet to the device driver. They don't have the concept of a
pending error.
COMPATIBILITY
Linux 2.0 only supported SOCK_RAW as (PF_INET, SOCK_PACKET). This is still
supported but deprecated. The main difference between SOCK_RAW and
SOCK_PACKET is that that SOCK_PACKET uses the old sockaddr_pkt structure
to specify an interface.
struct sockaddr_pkt
{
unsigned short spkt_family;
unsigned char spkt_device[14];
unsigned short spkt_protocol;
};
spkt_family contains the device type, spkt_protocol is the IEEE 802.3 pro-
tocol type as defined in the sys/if_ether.h include. spkt_device is the
device name as a null terminated string, e.g. eth0.
This structure is obsolete and should not be used in new code.
ERRORS
ENETDOWN
Interface is not up.
ENOTCONN
No interface address passed.
ENODEV Unknown device name or interface index specified in interface
address.
EMSGSIZE
device name as a null terminated string, e.g. eth0.
This structure is obsolete and should not be used in new code.
ERRORS
ENETDOWN
Interface is not up.
ENOTCONN
No interface address passed.
ENODEV Unknown device name or interface index specified in interface
address.
EMSGSIZE
Packet is bigger than interface MTU.
ENOBUFS
Not enough memory to allocate the packet.
EFAULT User passed invalid memory address.
EINVAL Invalid argument.
ENXIO Interface address contained illegal interface index.
EPERM User doesn't have an effective uid of 0 or the CAP_NET_RAW
attribute.
EADDRNOTAVAIL
Unknown multicast group address passed.
ENOENT No packet received.
