public interface Packet
extends java.lang.Iterable<Packet>, java.io.Serializable

The interface representing a packet which consists of a header and a payload. If you use PropertiesBasedPacketFactory, classes which implement this interface must implement the following method: public static Packet newPacket(byte[] rawData, int offset, int length) throws IllegalRawDataException

Since:

pcap4j 0.9.1

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
<T extends Packet> boolean	contains(java.lang.Class<T> clazz)	Returns true if this packet is or its payload includes an object of specified packet class; false otherwise.
<T extends Packet> T	get(java.lang.Class<T> clazz)	Traverses this packet and its payload to find an object of the specified packet class and returns the object.
Packet.Builder	getBuilder()	Returns a new Builder object populated with this object's fields' values.
Packet.Header	getHeader()	Returns the Header object representing this packet's header.
Packet	getOuterOf(java.lang.Class<? extends Packet> clazz)	Returns the outer packet object of a packet object get(clazz) returns.
Packet	getPayload()	Returns the Packet object representing this packet's payload.

Method Detail

getHeader

Packet.Header getHeader()

Returns the Header object representing this packet's header.

Returns:

the Header object representing this packet's header. May be null if the header doesn't exist

getPayload

Packet getPayload()

Returns the Packet object representing this packet's payload.

Returns:

the Packet object representing this packet's payload. May be null if the payload doesn't exist

length

int length()

Returns the packet length in bytes.

Returns:

the length of the byte stream of the packet represented by this object in bytes

getRawData

byte[] getRawData()

Returns this packet's raw data.

Returns:

this packet's raw data, namely the byte stream which is actually sent through real network

get

<T extends Packet> T get(java.lang.Class<T> clazz)

Traverses this packet and its payload to find an object of the specified packet class and returns the object. If there are more than one objects of the specified class in this object, this method returns the most outer one of them.

Type Parameters:

T - packet

Parameters:

clazz - the packet class of the object to get

Returns:

a packet object if found; otherwise null

getOuterOf

Packet getOuterOf(java.lang.Class<? extends Packet> clazz)

Returns the outer packet object of a packet object get(clazz) returns.

Parameters:

clazz - the packet class of the object whose outer packet object is what you want to get

Returns:

a packet object if found; otherwise null

contains

<T extends Packet> boolean contains(java.lang.Class<T> clazz)

Returns true if this packet is or its payload includes an object of specified packet class; false otherwise.

Type Parameters:

T - packet

Parameters:

clazz - the packet class of the object to search for

Returns:

true if this packet is or its payload includes an object of specified packet class; false otherwise

getBuilder

Packet.Builder getBuilder()

Returns a new Builder object populated with this object's fields' values.

Returns:

a new Builder object populated with this object's fields values
