Overview

Package ipv4 implements IP-level socket options for the Internet Protocol version 4.

The package provides IP-level socket options that allow manipulation of IPv4 facilities.

The IPv4 protocol and basic host requirements for IPv4 are defined in RFC 791 and RFC 1122. Host extensions for multicasting and socket interface extensions for multicast source filters are defined in RFC 1112 and RFC 3678. IGMPv1, IGMPv2 and IGMPv3 are defined in RFC 1112, RFC 2236 and RFC 3376. Source-specific multicast is defined in RFC 4607.

Unicasting

The options for unicasting are available for net.TCPConn, net.UDPConn and net.IPConn which are created as network connections that use the IPv4 transport. When a single TCP connection carrying a data flow of multiple packets needs to indicate the flow is important, ipv4.Conn is used to set the type-of-service field on the IPv4 header for each packet.

ln, err := net.Listen("tcp4", "0.0.0.0:1024")
if err != nil {
	// error handling
}
defer ln.Close()
for {
	c, err := ln.Accept()
	if err != nil {
		// error handling
	}
	go func(c net.Conn) {
		defer c.Close()

The outgoing packets will be labeled DiffServ assured forwarding class 1 low drop precedence, known as AF11 packets.

		if err := ipv4.NewConn(c).SetTOS(DiffServAF11); err != nil {
			// error handling
		}
		if _, err := c.Write(data); err != nil {
			// error handling
		}
	}(c)
}

Multicasting

The options for multicasting are available for net.UDPConn and net.IPconn which are created as network connections that use the IPv4 transport. A few network facilities must be prepared before you begin multicasting, at a minimum joining network interfaces and multicast groups.

en0, err := net.InterfaceByName("en0")
if err != nil {
	// error handling
}
en1, err := net.InterfaceByIndex(911)
if err != nil {
	// error handling
}
group := net.IPv4(224, 0, 0, 250)

First, an application listens to an appropriate address with an appropriate service port.

c, err := net.ListenPacket("udp4", "0.0.0.0:1024")
if err != nil {
	// error handling
}
defer c.Close()

Second, the application joins multicast groups, starts listening to the groups on the specified network interfaces. Note that the service port for transport layer protocol does not matter with this operation as joining groups affects only network and link layer protocols, such as IPv4 and Ethernet.

p := ipv4.NewPacketConn(c)
if err := p.JoinGroup(en0, &net.UDPAddr{IP: group}); err != nil {
	// error handling
}
if err := p.JoinGroup(en1, &net.UDPAddr{IP: group}); err != nil {
	// error handling
}

The application might set per packet control message transmissions between the protocol stack within the kernel. When the application needs a destination address on an incoming packet, SetControlMessage of ipv4.PacketConn is used to enable control message transmissons.

if err := p.SetControlMessage(ipv4.FlagDst, true); err != nil {
	// error handling
}

The application could identify whether the received packets are of interest by using the control message that contains the destination address of the received packet.

b := make([]byte, 1500)
for {
	n, cm, src, err := p.ReadFrom(b)
	if err != nil {
		// error handling
	}
	if cm.Dst.IsMulticast() {
		if cm.Dst.Equal(group)
			// joined group, do something
		} else {
			// unknown group, discard
			continue
		}
	}

The application can also send both unicast and multicast packets.

	p.SetTOS(DiffServCS0)
	p.SetTTL(16)
	if _, err := p.WriteTo(data, nil, src); err != nil {
		// error handling
	}
	dst := &net.UDPAddr{IP: group, Port: 1024}
	for _, ifi := range []*net.Interface{en0, en1} {
		if err := p.SetMulticastInterface(ifi); err != nil {
			// error handling
		}
		p.SetMulticastTTL(2)
		if _, err := p.WriteTo(data, nil, dst); err != nil {
			// error handling
		}
	}
}

More multicasting

An application that uses PacketConn or RawConn may join multiple multicast groups. For example, a UDP listener with port 1024 might join two different groups across over two different network interfaces by using:

c, err := net.ListenPacket("udp4", "0.0.0.0:1024")
if err != nil {
	// error handling
}
defer c.Close()
p := ipv4.NewPacketConn(c)
if err := p.JoinGroup(en0, &net.UDPAddr{IP: net.IPv4(224, 0, 0, 248)}); err != nil {
	// error handling
}
if err := p.JoinGroup(en0, &net.UDPAddr{IP: net.IPv4(224, 0, 0, 249)}); err != nil {
	// error handling
}
if err := p.JoinGroup(en1, &net.UDPAddr{IP: net.IPv4(224, 0, 0, 249)}); err != nil {
	// error handling
}

It is possible for multiple UDP listeners that listen on the same UDP port to join the same multicast group. The net package will provide a socket that listens to a wildcard address with reusable UDP port when an appropriate multicast address prefix is passed to the net.ListenPacket or net.ListenUDP.

c1, err := net.ListenPacket("udp4", "224.0.0.0:1024")
if err != nil {
	// error handling
}
defer c1.Close()
c2, err := net.ListenPacket("udp4", "224.0.0.0:1024")
if err != nil {
	// error handling
}
defer c2.Close()
p1 := ipv4.NewPacketConn(c1)
if err := p1.JoinGroup(en0, &net.UDPAddr{IP: net.IPv4(224, 0, 0, 248)}); err != nil {
	// error handling
}
p2 := ipv4.NewPacketConn(c2)
if err := p2.JoinGroup(en0, &net.UDPAddr{IP: net.IPv4(224, 0, 0, 248)}); err != nil {
	// error handling
}

Also it is possible for the application to leave or rejoin a multicast group on the network interface.

if err := p.LeaveGroup(en0, &net.UDPAddr{IP: net.IPv4(224, 0, 0, 248)}); err != nil {
	// error handling
}
if err := p.JoinGroup(en0, &net.UDPAddr{IP: net.IPv4(224, 0, 0, 250)}); err != nil {
	// error handling
}

Source-specific multicasting

An application that uses PacketConn or RawConn on IGMPv3 supported platform is able to join source-specific multicast groups. The application may use JoinSourceSpecificGroup and LeaveSourceSpecificGroup for the operation known as "include" mode,

ssmgroup := net.UDPAddr{IP: net.IPv4(232, 7, 8, 9)}
ssmsource := net.UDPAddr{IP: net.IPv4(192, 168, 0, 1)})
if err := p.JoinSourceSpecificGroup(en0, &ssmgroup, &ssmsource); err != nil {
	// error handling
}
if err := p.LeaveSourceSpecificGroup(en0, &ssmgroup, &ssmsource); err != nil {
	// error handling
}

or JoinGroup, ExcludeSourceSpecificGroup, IncludeSourceSpecificGroup and LeaveGroup for the operation known as "exclude" mode.

exclsource := net.UDPAddr{IP: net.IPv4(192, 168, 0, 254)}
if err := p.JoinGroup(en0, &ssmgroup); err != nil {
	// error handling
}
if err := p.ExcludeSourceSpecificGroup(en0, &ssmgroup, &exclsource); err != nil {
	// error handling
}
if err := p.LeaveGroup(en0, &ssmgroup); err != nil {
	// error handling
}

Note that it depends on each platform implementation what happens when an application which runs on IGMPv3 unsupported platform uses JoinSourceSpecificGroup and LeaveSourceSpecificGroup. In general the platform tries to fall back to conversations using IGMPv1 or IGMPv2 and starts to listen to multicast traffic. In the fallback case, ExcludeSourceSpecificGroup and IncludeSourceSpecificGroup may return an error.

Output:

func NewRawConn

func NewRawConn(c net.PacketConn) (*RawConn, error)

NewRawConn returns a new RawConn using c as its underlying transport.

func (*RawConn) Close

func (c *RawConn) Close() error

Close closes the endpoint.

func (*RawConn) ExcludeSourceSpecificGroup

func (c *RawConn) ExcludeSourceSpecificGroup(ifi *net.Interface, group, source net.Addr) error

ExcludeSourceSpecificGroup excludes the source-specific group from the already joined any-source groups by JoinGroup on the interface ifi.

func (*RawConn) ICMPFilter

func (c *RawConn) ICMPFilter() (*ICMPFilter, error)

ICMPFilter returns an ICMP filter. Currently only Linux supports this.

func (*RawConn) IncludeSourceSpecificGroup

func (c *RawConn) IncludeSourceSpecificGroup(ifi *net.Interface, group, source net.Addr) error

IncludeSourceSpecificGroup includes the excluded source-specific group by ExcludeSourceSpecificGroup again on the interface ifi.

func (*RawConn) JoinGroup

func (c *RawConn) JoinGroup(ifi *net.Interface, group net.Addr) error

JoinGroup joins the group address group on the interface ifi. By default all sources that can cast data to group are accepted. It's possible to mute and unmute data transmission from a specific source by using ExcludeSourceSpecificGroup and IncludeSourceSpecificGroup. JoinGroup uses the system assigned multicast interface when ifi is nil, although this is not recommended because the assignment depends on platforms and sometimes it might require routing configuration.

func (*RawConn) JoinSourceSpecificGroup

func (c *RawConn) JoinSourceSpecificGroup(ifi *net.Interface, group, source net.Addr) error

JoinSourceSpecificGroup joins the source-specific group comprising group and source on the interface ifi. JoinSourceSpecificGroup uses the system assigned multicast interface when ifi is nil, although this is not recommended because the assignment depends on platforms and sometimes it might require routing configuration.

func (*RawConn) LeaveGroup

func (c *RawConn) LeaveGroup(ifi *net.Interface, group net.Addr) error

LeaveGroup leaves the group address group on the interface ifi regardless of whether the group is any-source group or source-specific group.

func (*RawConn) LeaveSourceSpecificGroup

func (c *RawConn) LeaveSourceSpecificGroup(ifi *net.Interface, group, source net.Addr) error

LeaveSourceSpecificGroup leaves the source-specific group on the interface ifi.

func (*RawConn) MulticastInterface

func (c *RawConn) MulticastInterface() (*net.Interface, error)

MulticastInterface returns the default interface for multicast packet transmissions.

func (*RawConn) MulticastLoopback

func (c *RawConn) MulticastLoopback() (bool, error)

MulticastLoopback reports whether transmitted multicast packets should be copied and send back to the originator.

func (*RawConn) MulticastTTL

func (c *RawConn) MulticastTTL() (int, error)

MulticastTTL returns the time-to-live field value for outgoing multicast packets.

func (*RawConn) ReadFrom

func (c *RawConn) ReadFrom(b []byte) (h *Header, p []byte, cm *ControlMessage, err error)

ReadFrom reads an IPv4 datagram from the endpoint c, copying the datagram into b. It returns the received datagram as the IPv4 header h, the payload p and the control message cm.

func (*RawConn) SetControlMessage

func (c *RawConn) SetControlMessage(cf ControlFlags, on bool) error

SetControlMessage sets the per packet IP-level socket options.

func (*RawConn) SetDeadline

func (c *RawConn) SetDeadline(t time.Time) error

SetDeadline sets the read and write deadlines associated with the endpoint.

func (*RawConn) SetICMPFilter

func (c *RawConn) SetICMPFilter(f *ICMPFilter) error

SetICMPFilter deploys the ICMP filter. Currently only Linux supports this.

func (*RawConn) SetMulticastInterface

func (c *RawConn) SetMulticastInterface(ifi *net.Interface) error

SetMulticastInterface sets the default interface for future multicast packet transmissions.

func (*RawConn) SetMulticastLoopback

func (c *RawConn) SetMulticastLoopback(on bool) error

SetMulticastLoopback sets whether transmitted multicast packets should be copied and send back to the originator.

func (*RawConn) SetMulticastTTL

func (c *RawConn) SetMulticastTTL(ttl int) error

SetMulticastTTL sets the time-to-live field value for future outgoing multicast packets.

func (*RawConn) SetReadDeadline

func (c *RawConn) SetReadDeadline(t time.Time) error

SetReadDeadline sets the read deadline associated with the endpoint.

func (*RawConn) SetTOS

func (c *RawConn) SetTOS(tos int) error

SetTOS sets the type-of-service field value for future outgoing packets.

func (*RawConn) SetTTL

func (c *RawConn) SetTTL(ttl int) error

SetTTL sets the time-to-live field value for future outgoing packets.

func (*RawConn) SetWriteDeadline

func (c *RawConn) SetWriteDeadline(t time.Time) error

SetWriteDeadline sets the write deadline associated with the endpoint.

func (*RawConn) TOS

func (c *RawConn) TOS() (int, error)

TOS returns the type-of-service field value for outgoing packets.

func (*RawConn) TTL

func (c *RawConn) TTL() (int, error)

TTL returns the time-to-live field value for outgoing packets.

func (*RawConn) WriteTo

func (c *RawConn) WriteTo(h *Header, p []byte, cm *ControlMessage) error

WriteTo writes an IPv4 datagram through the endpoint c, copying the datagram from the IPv4 header h and the payload p. The control message cm allows the datagram path and the outgoing interface to be specified. Currently only Darwin and Linux support this. The cm may be nil if control of the outgoing datagram is not required.

The IPv4 header h must contain appropriate fields that include:

Version       = ipv4.Version
Len           = <must be specified>
TOS           = <must be specified>
TotalLen      = <must be specified>
ID            = platform sets an appropriate value if ID is zero
FragOff       = <must be specified>
TTL           = <must be specified>
