dhcp
DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 decoding/encoding library with client and server code, written in Go.
How to get the library
The library is split into several parts:
dhcpv6: implementation of DHCPv6 packet, client and serverdhcpv4: implementation of DHCPv4 packet, client and servernetboot: network booting wrappers on top ofdhcpv6anddhcpv4iana: several IANA constants, and helpers used bydhcpv6anddhcpv4rfc1035label: simple implementation of RFC1035 labels, used bydhcpv6and
dhcpv4interfaces, a thin layer of wrappers around network interfaces
You will probably only need dhcpv6 and/or dhcpv4 explicitly. The rest is
pulled in automatically if necessary.
So, to get dhcpv6 and dhpv4 just run:
go get -u github.com/insomniacslk/dhcp/dhcpv{4,6}
Examples
The sections below will illustrate how to use the dhcpv6 and dhcpv4
packages.
- dhcpv6 client
- dhcpv6 server
- dhcpv6 packet crafting
- TODO dhcpv4 client
- TODO dhcpv4 server
- TODO dhcpv4 packet crafting
