IPX - Internetwork Packet Exchange¶

pcapkit.protocols.internet.ipx contains IPX only, which implements extractor for Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) [*], whose structure is described as below:

Octets	Bits	Name	Description
0	0	`ipx.cksum`	Checksum
2	16	`ipx.len`	Packet Length (header includes)
4	32	`ipx.count`	Transport Control (hop count)
5	40	`ipx.type`	Packet Type
6	48	`ipx.dst`	Destination Address
18	144	`ipx.src`	Source Address

class pcapkit.protocols.internet.ipx.IPX(file=None, length=None, **kwargs)[source]¶

Bases: Internet[IPX, IPX]

This class implements Internetwork Packet Exchange.

property name: Literal['Internetwork Packet Exchange']¶: Name of corresponding protocol.

property length: Literal[30]¶: Header length of corresponding protocol.

property protocol: TransType¶: Name of next layer protocol.

property src: str¶: Source IPX address.

property dst: str¶: Destination IPX address.

read(length=None, **kwargs)[source]¶

Read Internetwork Packet Exchange.

Parameters:

length (Optional[int]) – Length of packet data.
**kwargs (Any) – Arbitrary keyword arguments.

Return type:

IPX

Returns:

Parsed packet data.

make(chksum=b'\\x00\\x00', count=0, type=<Packet.Unknown: 0>, type_default=None, type_namespace=None, type_reversed=False, dst=b'\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00', src=b'\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00\\x00', payload=b'', **kwargs)[source]¶

Make (construct) packet data.

Parameters:

chksum (bytes) – Checksum.
count (int) – Transport Control (hop count).
type (Packet | IntEnum | IntEnum | str | int) – Packet Type.
type_default (Optional[int]) – Default value for undefined packet type.
type_namespace (Union[dict[str, int], dict[int, str], Type[IntEnum], Type[IntEnum], None]) – Namespace for packet type.
type_reversed (bool) – Reverse namespace for packet type.
dst (bytes) – Destination Address.
src (bytes) – Source Address.
payload (bytes | ProtocolBase | Schema) – Payload data.
**kwargs (Any) – Arbitrary keyword arguments.

Returns:

Constructed packet data.

Return type:

bytes

classmethod _make_data(data)[source]¶

Create key-value pairs from data for protocol construction.

Parameters:: data (IPX) – protocol data
Return type:: dict[str, Any]
Returns:: Key-value pairs for protocol construction.

classmethod __index__()[source]¶

Numeral registry index of the protocol.

Return type:: TransType
Returns:: Numeral registry index of the protocol in IANA.
