TruncateIPPayload Element Documentation

NAME

TruncateIPPayload — Click element; limit payload length

SYNOPSIS

TruncateIPPayload([LENGTH, TRANSPORT])

Ports: 1 input, 1 output
Processing: agnostic

DESCRIPTION

Shorten IP packets to have payload of at most LENGTH bytes. Normally "payload" begins at the end of the transport header (TruncateIPPayload understands TCP, UDP, and ICMP headers). If TRANSPORT is false, "payload" begins at the end of the IP header. Non-IP packets are truncated to at most LENGTH bytes. Default LENGTH is 0.

The EXTRA_LENGTH keyword argument determines whether packets' extra length annotations are updated to account for any dropped bytes. Default is true.
