Detailed Description

The following are used to help accessing GTPv1 and IP-in-IP tunneled data. With theses macros it is possible to determine the tunnel type, retrieve the frame types and get direct offsets to the layers 3, 4 and 5 inside the tunnel. Only the first tunnel is decoded, hence a tunnel inside a tunnel is not decoded. The following macros are only available if "PacketDescriptor" in the ntservice.ini file has been set to "Ext9" or if "Ext9" is configured as the descriptor type in the NTPL "assign" statement matching the received packet.

Macro Definition Documentation

#define NT_NET_GET_PKT_INNER_L3_OFFSET_EXT9 (   _hNetBuf_)

Returns the offset in bytes (0x00 - 0x1FF) from the start of the frame to the start of inner layer 3. The value 0x00 indicates an invalid offset.

Parameters
[in]_hNetBuf_Packet container reference
Returns
Returns inner layer 3 offset as an integer value

Definition at line 1035 of file pktdescr.h.

#define NT_NET_GET_PKT_INNER_L4_OFFSET_EXT9 (   _hNetBuf_)

Returns the offset in bytes (0x00 - 0x1FF) from the start of the frame to the start of inner layer 4. The value 0x00 indicates an invalid offset.

Parameters
[in]_hNetBuf_Packet container reference
Returns
Returns inner layer 4 offset as an integer value

Definition at line 1045 of file pktdescr.h.

#define NT_NET_GET_PKT_INNER_L5_OFFSET_EXT9 (   _hNetBuf_)

Returns the offset in bytes (0x00 - 0x1FF) from the start of the frame to the start of inner layer 5. The value 0x00 indicates an invalid offset.

Parameters
[in]_hNetBuf_Packet container reference
Returns
Returns inner layer 5 offset as an integer value

Definition at line 1055 of file pktdescr.h.

#define NT_NET_GET_PKT_INNER_L3_FRAME_TYPE_EXT9 (   _hNetBuf_)

Returns
Returns the inner tunnel layer 3 frame type - see NtL3FrameType_e for values

Definition at line 1063 of file pktdescr.h.

#define NT_NET_GET_PKT_INNER_L4_FRAME_TYPE_EXT9 (   _hNetBuf_)

Get the inner tunnel layer 4 frame type.

Parameters
[in]_hNetBuf_Packet container reference
Returns
Returns the inner tunnel layer 4 frame type - see NtL4FrameType_e for values

Definition at line 1071 of file pktdescr.h.

#define NT_NET_GET_PKT_INNER_L3_FRAGMENT_TYPE_EXT9 (   _hNetBuf_)

Get inner layer 3 fragment type.

Parameters
[in]_hNetBuf_Packet container reference
Returns
Returns inner layer 3 fragment type - see NtL3FragmentType_e for values

Definition at line 1079 of file pktdescr.h.

#define NT_NET_GET_PKT_TUNNEL_TYPE_EXT9 (   _hNetBuf_)

Get the tunnel type.

Parameters
[in]_hNetBuf_Packet container reference
