Packet header for PPP.
This class can be used to add a header to PPP packet. Currently we do not implement any of the state machine in RFC 1661 , we just encapsulate the inbound packet send it on. The goal here is not really to implement the point-to-point protocol, but to encapsulate our packets in a known protocol so packet sniffers can parse them.
if PPP is transmitted over a serial link, it will typically be framed in some way derivative of IBM SDLC (HDLC) with all that that entails. Thankfully, we don't have to deal with all of that – we can use our own protocol for getting bits across the serial link which we call an ns3 Packet. What we do have to worry about is being able to capture PPP frames which are understandable by Wireshark. All this means is that we need to teach the PcapWriter about the appropriate data link type (DLT_PPP = 9), and we need to add a PPP header to each packet. Since we are not using framed PPP, this just means prepending the sixteen bit PPP protocol number to the packet. The ns-3 way to do this is via a class that inherits from class Header.

start | an iterator which points to where the header should read from. |
This method is used by Packet::RemoveHeader to re-create a header from the byte buffer of a packet. The data read is expected to match bit-for-bit the representation of this header in real networks.
Note that data is not actually removed from the buffer to which the iterator points. Both Packet::RemoveHeader() and Packet::PeekHeader() call Deserialize(), but only the RemoveHeader() has additional statements to remove the header bytes from the underlying buffer and associated metadata.

os | output stream This method is used by Packet::Print to print the content of a header as ascii data to a c++ output stream. Although the header is free to format its output as it wishes, it is recommended to follow a few rules to integrate with the packet pretty printer: start with flags, small field values located between a pair of parens. Values should be separated by whitespace. Follow the parens with the important fields, separated by whitespace. i.e.: (field1 val1 field2 val2 field3 val3) field4 val4 field5 val5 |
