CheckUDPHeader Element Documentation
NAME
CheckUDPHeader -- Click element; checks UDP header on UDP/IP packets
SYNOPSIS
CheckUDPHeader([KEYWORDS])
Ports: 1 input, 1-2 outputs
Processing: agnostic, but output 1 is push
Package: tcpudp (core)
DESCRIPTION
Expects UDP/IP packets as input. Checks that the UDP header length and checksum fields are valid. Pushes invalid packets out on output 1, unless output 1 was unused; if so, drops invalid packets. Prints a message to the console the first time it encounters an incorrect packet (but see VERBOSE below). Keyword arguments are:
- VERBOSE
- Boolean. If it is true, then a message will be printed for every erroneous packet, rather than just the first. False by default.
- DETAILS
- Boolean. If it is true, then CheckUDPHeader will maintain detailed counts of how many packets were dropped for each possible reason, accessible through the
drop_detailshandler. False by default.
ELEMENT HANDLERS
- drops (read-only)
- Returns the number of incorrect packets CheckUDPHeader has seen.
- drop_details (read-only)
- Returns a text file showing how many erroneous packets CheckUDPHeader has seen, subdivided by error. Only available if the DETAILS keyword argument was true.
