LINKTYPE_LOOP
Packet structure for BSD loopback encapsulation
+---------------------------+ | Protocol type | | (4 Octets) | +---------------------------+ | Payload | . . . . . .
Description
The protocol type field is in big-endian byte order. The values for that field are:
2
- payload is an IPv4 packet;24
- payload is an IPv6 packet;28
- payload is an IPv6 packet;30
- payload is an IPv6 packet;7
- payload is an OSI packet;23
- payload is an IPX packet.
All of the IPv6 values correspond to IPv6 packets; code reading files should check for all of them.
