Each NetPacket descendent module knows how +to encode and decode packets for the network protocol it implements. Consult +the documentation for the module in question for protocol-specific +implementation. +Note that there is no inheritance in the NetPacket:: cluster of modules other +than each protocol module being a NetPacket. This was seen to be too +restrictive as imposing inheritance relationships (for example between the IP, +UDP and TCP protocols) would make things like tunneling or other unusual +situations difficult. + +This is not the same module as perl-Net-Packet! |
