NAME

Net::Frame::Layer::PPP - Point-to-Point Protocol layer object

SYNOPSIS

   use Net::Frame::Layer::PPP qw(:consts);

   # Build a layer
   my $layer = Net::Frame::Layer::PPP->new(
      address  => 0xff,
      control  => 0x03,
      protocol => NF_PPP_PROTOCOL_IPv4,
   );
   $layer->pack;

   print 'RAW: '.$layer->dump."\n";

   # Read a raw layer
   my $layer = Net::Frame::Layer::PPP->new(raw => $raw);

   print $layer->print."\n";
   print 'PAYLOAD: '.unpack('H*', $layer->payload)."\n"
      if $layer->payload;

DESCRIPTION

This modules implements the encoding and decoding of the Point-to-Point Protocol layer.

See also Net::Frame::Layer for other attributes and methods.
