Module Hierarchy

• dnet: dumb networking library This module provides a simplified interface to several low-level networking routines, including network address manipulation, kernel arp(4) cache and route(4) table lookup and manipulation, network firewalling, network interface lookup and manipulation, IP tunnelling, and raw IP packet and Ethernet frame transmission.

Class Hierarchy

• __builtin__.object: The most base type...
  • dnet.addr: addr(addrtxt=None, type=ADDR_TYPE_NONE) -> network address object Create a network address object, optionally initialized from a human-readable Ethernet, IP, or IPv6 address string.
  • dnet.arp: arp() -> ARP table object Open a handle to the system ARP table.
  • dnet.eth: eth(device) -> Ethernet device object Open the specified Ethernet device for sending.
  • dnet.fw: fw() -> Firewall ruleset object Open a handle to the local network firewall configuration.
  • dnet.intf: intf() -> Interface table object Open a handle to the system network interface table.
  • dnet.ip: ip() -> Raw IP object Open a raw IP socket for sending.
  • dnet.rand: rand() -> Pseudo-random number generator Obtain a handle for fast, cryptographically strong pseudo-random number generation.
  • dnet.route: route() -> Routing table object Open a handle to the system routing table.
  • dnet.tun: tun(src, dst[, mtu]) -> Network tunnel interface handle Obtain a handle to a network tunnel interface, to which packets destined for dst are delivered (with source addresses rewritten to src), where they may be read by a userland process and processed as desired.
  • __builtin__.type: type(object) -> the object's type...
