Starting contents of an ICMPv4 packet without the checksum.

Variants

Unknown

Fields

type_u8: u8

ICMP type (present in the first byte of the ICMP packet).

code_u8: u8

ICMP code (present in the 2nd byte of the ICMP packet).

bytes5to8: [u8; 4]

Bytes located at th 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th position of the ICMP packet.

In case of an unknown ICMP type and code combination is received the header elements are stored raw in this enum value. The Unknown value can also be passed to the Icmpv4Header::write function to write arbitrary ICMP packets.

What is part of the header for Icmpv4Type::Unknown?

For unknown ICMP type & code combination the first 8 bytes are stored in the Icmpv4Header and the rest is stored in the payload (Icmpv4Slice::payload or PacketHeaders::payload).

Implementations

impl Icmpv4Type

pub fn header_len(&self) -> usize

Returns the length in bytes/octets of the header of this ICMPv4 message type.

pub fn fixed_payload_size(&self) -> Option<usize>

If the ICMP type has a fixed size returns the number of bytes that should be present after the header of this type.

pub fn calc_checksum(&self, payload: &[u8]) -> u16

Calculate the ICMP checksum value.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Icmpv4Type

fn clone(&self) -> Icmpv4Type

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Icmpv4Type

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl PartialEq<Icmpv4Type> for Icmpv4Type

fn eq(&self, other: &Icmpv4Type) -> bool

This method tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
