Package ndp implements the Neighbor Discovery Protocol, as described in RFC 4861. MIT Licensed.

The command ndp is a utility for working with the Neighbor Discovery Protocol.

To learn more about NDP, and how to use this package, check out my blog: Network Protocol Breakdown: NDP and Go.

Examples

Listen for incoming NDP messages on interface eth0 to one of the interface's global unicast addresses.

$ sudo ndp -i eth0 -a global listen
$ sudo ndp -i eth0 -a 2001:db8::1 listen

Send router solicitations on interface eth0 from the interface's link-local address until a router advertisement is received.

$ sudo ndp -i eth0 -a linklocal rs

Send neighbor solicitations on interface eth0 to a neighbor's link-local address until a neighbor advertisement is received.

$ sudo ndp -i eth0 -a linklocal -t fe80::1 ns

An example of the tool sending a router solicitation and receiving a router advertisement on the WAN interface of a Ubiquiti router:

$ sudo ndp -i eth1 -a linklocal rs
ndp> interface: eth1, link-layer address: 04:18:d6:a1:ce:b8, IPv6 address: fe80::618:d6ff:fea1:ceb8
ndp rs> router solicitation:
    - source link-layer address: 04:18:d6:a1:ce:b8

ndp rs> router advertisement from: fe80::201:5cff:fe69:f246:
    - hop limit:        0
    - flags:            [MO]
    - preference:       0
    - router lifetime:  2h30m0s
    - reachable time:   1h0m0s
    - retransmit timer: 0s
    - options:
        - prefix information: 2600:6c4a:7002:100::/64, flags: [], valid: 720h0m0s, preferred: 168h0m0s

Overview

Index

Constants

View Source 
const HopLimit = 255

HopLimit is the expected IPv6 hop limit for all NDP messages.

View Source 
const Infinity = time.Duration(0xffffffff) * time.Second

Infinity indicates that a prefix is valid for an infinite amount of time, unless a new, finite, value is received in a subsequent router advertisement.

View Source 
const Unrestricted = "urn:ietf:params:capport:unrestricted"

Unrestricted is the IANA-assigned URI for a network with no captive portal restrictions, as specified in RFC 8910, Section 2.

Functions

func MarshalMessage 

func MarshalMessage(m Message) ([]byte, error)

MarshalMessage marshals a Message into its binary form and prepends an ICMPv6 message with the correct type.

It is assumed that the operating system or caller will calculate and place the ICMPv6 checksum in the result.

func MarshalMessageChecksum 

func MarshalMessageChecksum(m Message, source, destination netip.Addr) ([]byte, error)

MarshalMessageChecksum marshals a Message into its binary form and prepends an ICMPv6 message with the correct type.

The source and destination IP addresses are used to compute an IPv6 pseudo header for checksum calculation.

func SolicitedNodeMulticast 

func SolicitedNodeMulticast(ip netip.Addr) (netip.Addr, error)

SolicitedNodeMulticast returns the solicited-node multicast address for an IPv6 address.

Types

type Addr 

type Addr string

An Addr is an IPv6 unicast address. 

const (
	Unspecified Addr = "unspecified"
	LinkLocal   Addr = "linklocal"
	UniqueLocal Addr = "uniquelocal"
	Global      Addr = "global"
)

Possible Addr types for an IPv6 unicast address.

type CaptivePortal 

type CaptivePortal struct {
	URI string
}

A CaptivePortal is a Captive-Portal option, as described in RFC 8910, Section 2.3.

func NewCaptivePortal 

func NewCaptivePortal(uri string) (*CaptivePortal, error)

NewCaptivePortal produces a CaptivePortal Option for the input URI string. As a special case, if uri is empty, Unrestricted is used as the CaptivePortal OptionURI.

If uri is an IP address literal, an error is returned. Per RFC 8910, uri "SHOULD NOT" be an IP address, but there are circumstances where this behavior may be useful. In that case, the caller can bypass NewCaptivePortal and construct a CaptivePortal Option directly.

func (*CaptivePortal) Code 

func (*CaptivePortal) Code() byte

Code implements Option.

type Conn 

type Conn struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

A Conn is a Neighbor Discovery Protocol connection.

func Listen 

func Listen(ifi *net.Interface, addr Addr) (*Conn, netip.Addr, error)

Listen creates a NDP connection using the specified interface and address type.

As a special case, literal IPv6 addresses may be specified to bind to a specific address for an interface. If the IPv6 address does not exist on the interface, an error will be returned.

Listen returns a Conn and the chosen IPv6 address of the interface.

func (*Conn) Close 

func (c *Conn) Close() error

Close closes the Conn's underlying connection.

func (*Conn) JoinGroup 

func (c *Conn) JoinGroup(group netip.Addr) error

JoinGroup joins the specified multicast group. If group contains an IPv6 zone, it is overwritten by the zone of the network interface which backs Conn.

func (*Conn) LeaveGroup 

func (c *Conn) LeaveGroup(group netip.Addr) error

LeaveGroup leaves the specified multicast group. If group contains an IPv6 zone, it is overwritten by the zone of the network interface which backs Conn.

func (*Conn) ReadFrom 

func (c *Conn) ReadFrom() (Message, *ipv6.ControlMessage, netip.Addr, error)

ReadFrom reads a Message from the Conn and returns its control message and source network address. Messages sourced from this machine and malformed or unrecognized ICMPv6 messages are filtered.

If more control and/or a more efficient low-level API are required, see ReadRaw.

func (*Conn) ReadRaw 

func (c *Conn) ReadRaw(b []byte) (int, *ipv6.ControlMessage, netip.Addr, error)

ReadRaw reads ICMPv6 message bytes into b from the Conn and returns the number of bytes read, the control message, and the source network address.

Most callers should use ReadFrom instead, which parses bytes into Messages and also handles malformed and unrecognized ICMPv6 messages.

func (*Conn) SetControlMessage 

func (c *Conn) SetControlMessage(cf ipv6.ControlFlags, on bool) error

SetControlMessage enables the reception of *ipv6.ControlMessages based on the specified flags.

func (*Conn) SetDeadline 

func (c *Conn) SetDeadline(t time.Time) error

SetDeadline sets the read and write deadlines for Conn. It is equivalent to calling both SetReadDeadline and SetWriteDeadline.

func (*Conn) SetICMPFilter 

func (c *Conn) SetICMPFilter(f *ipv6.ICMPFilter) error

SetICMPFilter applies the specified ICMP filter. This option can be used to ensure a Conn only accepts certain kinds of NDP messages.

func (*Conn) SetReadDeadline 

func (c *Conn) SetReadDeadline(t time.Time) error

SetReadDeadline sets a deadline for the next NDP message to arrive.

func (*Conn) SetWriteDeadline 

func (c *Conn) SetWriteDeadline(t time.Time) error

SetWriteDeadline sets a deadline for the next NDP message to be written.

func (*Conn) WriteTo 

func (c *Conn) WriteTo(m Message, cm *ipv6.ControlMessage, dst netip.Addr) error

WriteTo writes a Message to the Conn, with an optional control message and destination network address. If dst contains an IPv6 zone, it is overwritten by the zone of the network interface which backs Conn.

If cm is nil, a default control message will be sent.
