# Net::Frame::Layer::IPv6::Option(3pm)

IPv6 Option object

## NAME

Net::Frame::Layer::IPv6::Option - IPv6 Option object

## SYNOPSIS

```
   use Net::Frame::Layer::IPv6::Option;
   my $layer = Net::Frame::Layer::IPv6::Option->new(
      type   => 1,
      length => 0,
      value  => '',
   );
   $layer->pack;
   print 'RAW: '.$layer->dump."\n";
   # Read a raw layer
   my $layer = Net::Frame::Layer::IPv6::Option->new(
      raw => $raw,
   );
   print $layer->print."\n";
   print 'PAYLOAD: '.unpack('H*', $layer->payload)."\n"
      if $layer->payload;
```

## DESCRIPTION

This modules implements the encoding and decoding of IPv6 Options.

See also **Net::Frame::Layer** for other attributes and methods.

## ATTRIBUTES

- **type**

  The type of IPv6 option.

- **length**

  The length of IPv6 option (a number of bytes), including **type** and **length** fields.

- **value**

  The value.

The default **type**, **length** and **value** create the PadN option padding, where N=2.

The following are inherited attributes. See **Net::Frame::Layer** for more information.

- **raw**

  - **payload**

  - **nextLayer**

  ## METHODS

- **new**

  - **new** (hash)

  Object constructor. You can pass attributes that will overwrite default ones. See **SYNOPSIS** for default values.

The following are inherited methods. Some of them may be overridden in this layer, and some others may not be meaningful in this layer. See **Net::Frame::Layer** for more information.

- **layer**

  - **computeLengths**

  - **computeChecksums**

  - **pack**

  - **unpack**

  - **encapsulate**

  - **getLength**

  - **getPayloadLength**

  - **print**

  - **dump**
