DTRACE_IP(4)		 BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual		  DTRACE_IP(4)

NAME
     dtrace_ip -- a DTrace provider for	tracing	events related to the IPv4 and
     IPv6 protocols

SYNOPSIS
     ip:::receive(pktinfo_t *, csinfo_t	*, ipinfo_t *, ifinfo_t	*,
	 ipv4info_t *, ipv6info_t *);

     ip:::send(pktinfo_t *, csinfo_t *,	ipinfo_t *, ifinfo_t *,	ipv4info_t *,
	 ipv6info_t *);

DESCRIPTION
     The DTrace	ip provider allows users to trace events in the	ip(4) and
     ip6(4) protocol implementations.  The ip:::send() probe fires whenever
     the kernel	prepares to transmit an	IP packet, and the ip:::receive()
     probe fires whenever the kernel receives an IP packet.  The arguments to
     these probes can be used to obtain	detailed information about the IP
     headers of	the corresponding packet, as well as the network interface on
     which the packet was sent or received.  Unlike the	dtrace_tcp(4) and
     dtrace_udp(4) providers, ip provider probes are triggered by forwarded
     packets.  That is,	the probes will	fire on	packets	that are not destined
     to	the local host.

ARGUMENTS
     The pktinfo_t argument is currently unimplemented and is included for
     compatibility with	other implementations of this provider.	 Its fields
     are:

	   uintptr_t pkt_addr  Always set to 0.

     The csinfo_t argument is currently	unimplemented and is included for com-
     patibility	with other implementations of this provider.  Its fields are:

	   uintptr_t cs_addr  Always set to 0.

	   uint64_t cs_cid    A	pointer	to the struct inpcb for	this packet,
			      or NULL.

	   pid_t cs_pid	      Always set to 0.

     The ipinfo_t argument contains IP fields common to	both IPv4 and IPv6
     packets.  Its fields are:

	   uint8_t ip_ver	IP version of the packet, 4 for	IPv4 packets
				and 6 for IPv6 packets.

	   uint32_t ip_plength	IP payload size.  This does not	include	the
				size of	the IP header or IPv6 option headers.

	   string ip_saddr	IP source address.

	   string ip_daddr	IP destination address.

     The ifinfo_t argument describes the outgoing and incoming interfaces for
     the packet	in the ip:::send() and ip:::receive() probes respectively.
     Its fields	are:

	   string if_name     The interface name.

	   int8_t if_local    A	boolean	value indicating whether or not	the
			      interface	is a loopback interface.

	   uintptr_t if_addr  A	pointer	to the struct ifnet which describes
			      the interface.  See the ifnet(9) manual page.

     The ipv4info_t argument contains the fields of the	IP header for IPv4
     packets.  This argument is	NULL for IPv6 packets.	DTrace scripts should
     use the ip_ver() field in the ipinfo_t argument to	determine whether to
     use this argument.	 Its fields are:

	   uint8_t ipv4_ver	   IP version.	This will always be 4 for IPv4
				   packets.

	   uint8_t ipv4_ihl	   The IP header length, including options, in
				   32-bit words.

	   uint8_t ipv4_tos	   IP type of service field.

	   uint16_t ipv4_length	   The total packet length, including the
				   header, in bytes.

	   uint16_t ipv4_ident	   Identification field.

	   uint8_t ipv4_flags	   The IP flags.

	   uint16_t ipv4_offset	   The fragment	offset of the packet.

	   uint8_t ipv4_ttl	   Time	to live	field.

	   uint8_t ipv4_protocol   Next-level protocol ID.

	   string ipv4_protostr	   A string containing the name	of the encap-
				   sulated protocol.  The protocol strings are
				   defined in the protocol array in
				   /usr/lib/dtrace/ip.d

	   uint16_t ipv4_checksum  The IP checksum.

	   ipaddr_t ipv4_src	   IPv4	source address.

	   ipaddr_t ipv4_dst	   IPv4	destination address.

	   string ipv4_saddr	   A string representation of the source ad-
				   dress.

	   string ipv4_daddr	   A string representation of the destination
				   address.

	   ipha_t *ipv4_hdr	   A pointer to	the raw	IPv4 header.

     The ipv6info_t argument contains the fields of the	IP header for IPv6
     packets.  Its fields are not set for IPv4 packets;	as with	the ipv4info_t
     argument, the ip_ver() field should be used to determine whether this ar-
     gument is valid.  Its fields are:

	   uint8_t ipv6_ver	   IP version.	This will always be 6 for IPv6
				   packets.

	   uint8_t ipv6_tclass	   The traffic class, used to set the differ-
				   entiated services codepoint and extended
				   congestion notification flags.

	   uint32_t ipv6_flow	   The flow label of the packet.

	   uint16_t ipv6_plen	   The IP payload size,	including extension
				   headers, in bytes.

	   uint8_t ipv6_nexthdr	   An identifier for the type of the next
				   header.

	   string ipv6_nextstr	   A string representation of the type of the
				   next	header.

	   uint8_t ipv6_hlim	   The hop limit.

	   ip6_addr_t *ipv6_src	   IPv6	source address.

	   ip6_addr_t *ipv6_dst	   IPv6	destination address.

	   string ipv6_saddr	   A string representation of the source ad-
				   dress.

	   string ipv6_daddr	   A string representation of the destination
				   address.

	   struct ip6_hdr *ipv6_hdr
				   A pointer to	the raw	IPv6 header.

FILES
     /usr/lib/dtrace/ip.d  DTrace type and translator definitions for the ip
			   provider.

EXAMPLES
     The following script counts received packets by remote host address.

	   ip:::receive
	   {
		   @num[args[2]->ip_saddr] = count();
	   }

     This script will print some details of each IP packet as it is sent or
     received by the kernel:

	   #pragma D option quiet
	   #pragma D option switchrate=10Hz

	   dtrace:::BEGIN
	   {
		   printf(" %10s %30s	 %-30s %8s %6s\n", "DELTA(us)",	"SOURCE",
		       "DEST", "INT", "BYTES");
		   last	= timestamp;
	   }

	   ip:::send
	   {
		   this->elapsed = (timestamp -	last) /	1000;
		   printf(" %10d %30s -> %-30s %8s %6d\n", this->elapsed,
		       args[2]->ip_saddr, args[2]->ip_daddr, args[3]->if_name,
		       args[2]->ip_plength);
		   last	= timestamp;
	   }

	   ip:::receive
	   {
		   this->elapsed = (timestamp -	last) /	1000;
		   printf(" %10d %30s <- %-30s %8s %6d\n", this->elapsed,
		       args[2]->ip_daddr, args[2]->ip_saddr, args[3]->if_name,
		       args[2]->ip_plength);
		   last	= timestamp;
	   }

COMPATIBILITY
     This provider is compatible with the ip providers found in	Solaris	and
     Darwin.
