ArpOpcode	enum	The list of practically important ARP opcodes
ArpPacket	class	ARP packet. This is a specialized version: prepared for IEEE 802 hardware addresses and IPv4. Packet fields are therefore represented by C++ classes MACAddress and IPv4Address. Also, some ARP protocol header fields are not modelled explicitly (their values are implied):
