Dear Sirs/ Ma'ams,
I am an undergraduate student following the B Eng (Hons) Software Engineering degree program at University of Westminster, UK. As for my final year research project I am implementing a packet security enhancement module. In the concept, it is required to obtain the list of neighbors within the LAN. I did some research online and I found out that I can obtain IPv4/ IPv6 neighbors by typing in "ip -4 neigh show" or "ip -6 neigh show" in the terminal where this feature is implemented by the module neighbour.c. My query is , If I am to obtain these information programatically through my kernel module, which methods should I call. As in, i tried doing a #include <linux/neighbour.h> and tried to call `neightbl_dump_info' but that did not work. I would be really grateful if you experts could advice me on how to implement the function to obtain the list of IPv4/ IPv6 neighbours programatically? Thank you, Best Regards, H. Hasitha Shan P.S. I apologize in advance if this question has an obvious answer, but as I am a novice in this area, my research lead me to dead ends for weeks and your help will be very much appreciated. |
