Network Protocol Dictionary
|
|
===
|
|
|
|
This is a YAML network protocol dictionary for all (binary based) OSI-Layer 1-4 protocols, eg. Ethernet, IP, TCP, UDP, etc.
|
|
|
|
- What this dictionary should be:
|
|
- A complete **machine readable** *structure definition* dictionary for all binary based network protocols
|
|
- Addon: some protocol documentation from wikipedia or RFCs for display use.
|
|
- A reference for building a network packet from scratch in an application, mostly for applications dealing with network packets.
|
|
|
|
- What it is clearly **NOT**:
|
|
- Currently: complete.
|
|
- A replacement for reading RFCs: Dependencies and constraints are **NOT** defined in this dictionary
|
|
- A source for implementing network stacks
|
|
|
|
|
|
Why?
|
|
----
|
|
I have a project where I want to use a non platform dependent source for network protocol structures so I want to avoid using the defined structures in the OS includes which depend on the operating system used at program execution.
|
|
Simple, isn't it?

How to add a new protocol
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
Requirements:
|
|
- Python 3.5
|
|
- jsonschema
|
|
- PyYaml
|
|
- (the old kwalify schemas are still present, but deprecated.)
|
|
|
|
Howto:
|
|
- Clone.
|
|
- Check structure-schema.yml.
|
|
- Write protocol file in ./protocols/osi[layer]/[protocolname].yml.
|
|
- Validate structure with 'python validate.py -f [path/to/protocolname].yml' or all at once with 'python validate.py --all'
|
|
- Set up a merge request.
|
|
- Be happy.

How to use this dictionary
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
Currently not recommended, because the project lacks deeper tests than just schema validation. ;)
|
|
|
|
- Clone.
|
|
- Get a YAML library for your program language. Or get a converter for JSON or XML, to use these markup languages.
|
|
- Load desired protocol files, or all of them.
|
|
- Use resulting data structures to build protocol packet structures.

This repository will provide examples or useable code snippets for specific programming languages in the future...
