DTRACE_IP(4) FreeBSD 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
compatibility 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:
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
encapsulated 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
address.
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
argument 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
differentiated services codepoint and
extended congestion notification flags.
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
address.
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);
