Represents an IPv4 datagram.

Uses the following cPacket fields:

• getByteLength() / setByteLength() to represent total datagram length
• hasBitError() / setBitError() to represent datagram correctness
• getTimestamp() / setTimestamp (simtime) used in timestamp option

Additional length fields defined in this class are in bytes.

Only one of the option fields can exist at a time.

Fields

Name	Type	Description
version	short
headerLength	short
srcAddress	IPv4Address
destAddress	IPv4Address
transportProtocol	int
timeToLive	short
identification	int
moreFragments	bool
dontFragment	bool
fragmentOffset	int	bytes, must be multiple of 8
totalLengthField	int	-1 means: getTotalLengthField() uses getByteLength()
typeOfService	unsigned char	ToS byte
diffServCodePoint	int	maps to bits 0-5 of ToS
explicitCongestionNotification	int	maps to bits 6-7 of ToS
options	TLVOptions	array of option pointers, option pointers owned by datagram
