Detailed Description

Code in charge of protocol decoding.

The task of decoding packets is made in different files and as Suricata is supporting encapsulation there is a potential recursivity in the call.

For each protocol a DecodePROTO function is provided. For example we have DecodeIPV4() for IPv4 and DecodePPP() for PPP.

These functions have all a pkt and a len argument which are respectively a pointer to the protocol data and the length of this protocol data.

Attention
The pkt parameter must point to the effective data because it will be used later to set per protocol pointer like Packet::tcph

This function copies data/payload to a Packet. It uses the space allocated at Packet creation (pointed by Packet::pkt) or allocate some memory (pointed by Packet::ext_pkt) if the data size is to big to fit in initial space (of size default_packet_size).

Parameters
Pointerto the Packet to modify
Offsetof the copy relatively to payload of Packet
Pointerto the data to copy
Lengthof the data to copy

Setup a pseudo packet (reassembled frags)

Difference with PacketPseudoPktSetup is that this func doesn't increment the recursion level. It needs to be on the same level as the frags because we run the flow engine against this and we need to get the same flow.

Parameters
parentparent packet for this pseudo pkt
pktraw packet data
lenpacket data length
protoprotocol of the tunneled packet
Return values
pthe pseudo packet or NULL if out of memory
