5// Package ipv4 implements IP-level socket options for the Internet
6// Protocol version 4.
7//
8// The package provides IP-level socket options that allow
9// manipulation of IPv4 facilities.
10//
11// The IPv4 protocol and basic host requirements for IPv4 are defined
12// in RFC 791 and RFC 1122.
13// Host extensions for multicasting and socket interface extensions
14// for multicast source filters are defined in RFC 1112 and RFC 3678.
15// IGMPv1, IGMPv2 and IGMPv3 are defined in RFC 1112, RFC 2236 and RFC
16// 3376.
17// Source-specific multicast is defined in RFC 4607.
18//
19//
20// Unicasting
21//
22// The options for unicasting are available for net.TCPConn,
23// net.UDPConn and net.IPConn which are created as network connections
24// that use the IPv4 transport. When a single TCP connection carrying
25// a data flow of multiple packets needs to indicate the flow is
26// important, Conn is used to set the type-of-service field on the
27// IPv4 header for each packet.
28//
29//	ln, err := net.Listen("tcp4", "0.0.0.0:1024")
30//	if err != nil {
31//		// error handling
32//	}
33//	defer ln.Close()
34//	for {
35//		c, err := ln.Accept()
36//		if err != nil {
37//			// error handling
38//		}
39//		go func(c net.Conn) {
40//			defer c.Close()
41//
42// The outgoing packets will be labeled DiffServ assured forwarding
43// class 1 low drop precedence, known as AF11 packets.
44//
45//			if err := ipv4.NewConn(c).SetTOS(0x28); err != nil {
46//				// error handling
47//			}
48//			if _, err := c.Write(data); err != nil {
49//				// error handling
50//			}
51//		}(c)
52//	}
53//
54//
55// Multicasting
56//
57// The options for multicasting are available for net.UDPConn and
58// net.IPConn which are created as network connections that use the
59// IPv4 transport. A few network facilities must be prepared before
60// you begin multicasting, at a minimum joining network interfaces and
61// multicast groups.
62//
63//	en0, err := net.InterfaceByName("en0")
64//	if err != nil {
65//		// error handling
66//	}
67//	en1, err := net.InterfaceByIndex(911)
68//	if err != nil {
69//		// error handling
70//	}
71//	group := net.IPv4(224, 0, 0, 250)
72//
73// First, an application listens to an appropriate address with an
74// appropriate service port.
75//
76//	c, err := net.ListenPacket("udp4", "0.0.0.0:1024")
77//	if err != nil {
78//		// error handling
79//	}
80//	defer c.Close()
81//
82// Second, the application joins multicast groups, starts listening to
83// the groups on the specified network interfaces. Note that the
84// service port for transport layer protocol does not matter with this
85// operation as joining groups affects only network and link layer
86// protocols, such as IPv4 and Ethernet.
87//
88//	p := ipv4.NewPacketConn(c)
89//	if err := p.JoinGroup(en0, &net.UDPAddr{IP: group}); err != nil {
90//		// error handling
91//	}
92//	if err := p.JoinGroup(en1, &net.UDPAddr{IP: group}); err != nil {
93//		// error handling
94//	}
95//
96// The application might set per packet control message transmissions
97// between the protocol stack within the kernel. When the application
98// needs a destination address on an incoming packet,
99// SetControlMessage of PacketConn is used to enable control message
100// transmissions.
101//
102//	if err := p.SetControlMessage(ipv4.FlagDst, true); err != nil {
103//		// error handling
104//	}
105//
106// The application could identify whether the received packets are
107// of interest by using the control message that contains the
108// destination address of the received packet.
109//
110//	b := make([]byte, 1500)
111//	for {
112//		n, cm, src, err := p.ReadFrom(b)
113//		if err != nil {
114//			// error handling
115//		}
116//		if cm.Dst.IsMulticast() {
117//			if cm.Dst.Equal(group) {
118//				// joined group, do something
119//			} else {
120//				// unknown group, discard
121//				continue
122//			}
123//		}
124//
125// The application can also send both unicast and multicast packets.
126//
127//		p.SetTOS(0x0)
128//		p.SetTTL(16)
129//		if _, err := p.WriteTo(data, nil, src); err != nil {
130//			// error handling
131//		}
132//		dst := &net.UDPAddr{IP: group, Port: 1024}
133//		for _, ifi := range []*net.Interface{en0, en1} {
134//			if err := p.SetMulticastInterface(ifi); err != nil {
135//				// error handling
136//			}
137//			p.SetMulticastTTL(2)
138//			if _, err := p.WriteTo(data, nil, dst); err != nil {
139//				// error handling
140//			}
141//		}
142//	}
143//
144//
145// More multicasting
146//
147// An application that uses PacketConn or RawConn may join multiple
148// multicast groups. For example, a UDP listener with port 1024 might
149// join two different groups across over two different network
150// interfaces by using:
151//
152//	c, err := net.ListenPacket("udp4", "0.0.0.0:1024")
153//	if err != nil {
154//		// error handling
155//	}
156//	defer c.Close()
157//	p := ipv4.NewPacketConn(c)
158//	if err := p.JoinGroup(en0, &net.UDPAddr{IP: net.IPv4(224, 0, 0, 248)}); err != nil {
159//		// error handling
160//	}
161//	if err := p.JoinGroup(en0, &net.UDPAddr{IP: net.IPv4(224, 0, 0, 249)}); err != nil {
162//		// error handling
163//	}
164//	if err := p.JoinGroup(en1, &net.UDPAddr{IP: net.IPv4(224, 0, 0, 249)}); err != nil {
165//		// error handling
166//	}
167//
168// It is possible for multiple UDP listeners that listen on the same
169// UDP port to join the same multicast group. The net package will
170// provide a socket that listens to a wildcard address with reusable
171// UDP port when an appropriate multicast address prefix is passed to
172// the net.ListenPacket or net.ListenUDP.
173//
174//	c1, err := net.ListenPacket("udp4", "224.0.0.0:1024")
175//	if err != nil {
176//		// error handling
177//	}
178//	defer c1.Close()
179//	c2, err := net.ListenPacket("udp4", "224.0.0.0:1024")
180//	if err != nil {
181//		// error handling
182//	}
183//	defer c2.Close()
184//	p1 := ipv4.NewPacketConn(c1)
185//	if err := p1.JoinGroup(en0, &net.UDPAddr{IP: net.IPv4(224, 0, 0, 248)}); err != nil {
186//		// error handling
187//	}
188//	p2 := ipv4.NewPacketConn(c2)
189//	if err := p2.JoinGroup(en0, &net.UDPAddr{IP: net.IPv4(224, 0, 0, 248)}); err != nil {
190//		// error handling
191//	}
192//
193// Also it is possible for the application to leave or rejoin a
194// multicast group on the network interface.
195//
196//	if err := p.LeaveGroup(en0, &net.UDPAddr{IP: net.IPv4(224, 0, 0, 248)}); err != nil {
197//		// error handling
198//	}
199//	if err := p.JoinGroup(en0, &net.UDPAddr{IP: net.IPv4(224, 0, 0, 250)}); err != nil {
200//		// error handling
201//	}
202//
203//
204// Source-specific multicasting
205//
206// An application that uses PacketConn or RawConn on IGMPv3 supported
207// platform is able to join source-specific multicast groups.
208// The application may use JoinSourceSpecificGroup and
209// LeaveSourceSpecificGroup for the operation known as "include" mode,
210//
211//	ssmgroup := net.UDPAddr{IP: net.IPv4(232, 7, 8, 9)}
212//	ssmsource := net.UDPAddr{IP: net.IPv4(192, 168, 0, 1)}
213//	if err := p.JoinSourceSpecificGroup(en0, &ssmgroup, &ssmsource); err != nil {
214//		// error handling
215//	}
216//	if err := p.LeaveSourceSpecificGroup(en0, &ssmgroup, &ssmsource); err != nil {
217//		// error handling
218//	}
219//
220// or JoinGroup, ExcludeSourceSpecificGroup,
221// IncludeSourceSpecificGroup and LeaveGroup for the operation known
222// as "exclude" mode.
223//
224//	exclsource := net.UDPAddr{IP: net.IPv4(192, 168, 0, 254)}
225//	if err := p.JoinGroup(en0, &ssmgroup); err != nil {
226//		// error handling
227//	}
228//	if err := p.ExcludeSourceSpecificGroup(en0, &ssmgroup, &exclsource); err != nil {
229//		// error handling
230//	}
231//	if err := p.LeaveGroup(en0, &ssmgroup); err != nil {
232//		// error handling
233//	}
234//
235// Note that it depends on each platform implementation what happens
236// when an application which runs on IGMPv3 unsupported platform uses
237// JoinSourceSpecificGroup and LeaveSourceSpecificGroup.
238// In general the platform tries to fall back to conversations using
239// IGMPv1 or IGMPv2 and starts to listen to multicast traffic.
240// In the fallback case, ExcludeSourceSpecificGroup and
241// IncludeSourceSpecificGroup may return an error.
