NetworkInspector.FrameBuilder
Typed frame construction package for NetworkInspector.
What This Is
NetworkInspector.FrameBuilder helps you construct valid protocol frame stacks in .NET code.
Use it when you need to:
- generate test traffic,
- build synthetic packet streams,
- create protocol-valid frames for tooling and simulation.
Why It Stands Out
- Fluent, typed composition via
FrameStack.Start(...).Then(...).CreateWithFixedValues(). - Supports common link/network/transport/application stack combinations.
- Suitable for reusable build pipelines and high-frequency generation loops.
Install
dotnet add package NetworkInspector.FrameBuilder
Quick Start
using NetworkInspector.FrameBuilder;
EthernetLayer eth = new(dstMac, srcMac);
IPv4Layer ip = new(srcIp, dstIp);
UdpLayer udp = new(srcPort: 12345, dstPort: 53);
var stack = FrameStack
.Start(eth)
.Then(ip)
.Then(udp)
.CreateWithFixedValues();
byte[] buffer = new byte[stack.HeaderSize + payload.Length];
var sequence = stack.Build(payload);
while (sequence.MoveNext(buffer, out int written))
{
sender.Send(buffer.AsSpan(0, written));
}
Common Tasks
Build Single Frames
Use CreateWithFixedValues() and one Build(payload) sequence for deterministic frame emission.
Build Fragmented Output
Use the returned frame sequence and iterate until completion when payload size exceeds one frame.
Build Stateful Packet Streams
Open sessions when sequence numbers, IDs, or counters must advance across packets.
Limits And Caller Responsibilities
- Follow protocol constraints for checksums and segmentation behavior in your stack design.
- Validate payload sizing assumptions for transport-specific workflows.
- Keep generation loops bounded and cancellation-aware in long-running jobs.
