How to add a tcp header to ipproto _ tcp?


Asked by Joanna Newton on Dec 13, 2021 FAQ



As the protocol field is set to IPPROTO_TCP, the TCP header needs to be added by the application. The below code snippets achieve the same. tcp_hdr->source = htons(SERVPORT);
In this manner,
The input value for setting this option is a 4-byte IPv4 address in network byte order. This DWORD parameter can also be an interface index in network byte order. Any IP address in the 0.x.x.x block (first octet of 0) except IPv4 address 0.0.0.0 is treated as an interface index.
Furthermore, To manipulate the IP header as well as either the TCP or UDP header (or any other protocol encapsulated in IP), you must use the IP_HDRINCL socket option with a raw socket. For IPv6, the option is IPV6_HDRINCL. This option allows you to build your own IP header as well as other protocols' headers.
Also Know,
TCP Header TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a reliable transport protocol as it establishes a connection before sending any data and everything that it sends is acknowledged by the receiver. In this lesson we will take a closer look at the TCP header and its different fields.
Likewise,
1. Create a TCP socket using socket() 2. Assign a port number to the socket with bind() 3. Tell the system to allow connections to be made to that port using listen() 4. Repeatedly do the following: Call accept() to get a new socket for each client connection communicate with the client using send() and recv()
