Exception IP6 has no attribute

I'm programming in python and i have a problem, indeed when i throw my script it end some seconds after when he detect an IP6 packet. Apparently i have to filter packets and take only IP4 packet to avoid this problem and i would like to know how can i use it with the library dpkt if possible as i started. I tried something but i'm a beginner and it don't work as you can see in this line:

#Select Ipv4 packets because of problem with the .p in Ipv6
            if ip.p == dpkt.ip6:
                return`

The error encountered say: "AttributeError: 'IP6' object has no attribute 'p'". This is the traceback: traceback

This is my code if you want to have a look :) Thanks for your time :)

Solution

  • Finally i found the good way to do it, the line is not:

    if ip.p == dpkt.ip6:
                return

    But:

    if eth.type == dpkt.ethernet.ETH_TYPE_IP6:
                    return
