ROPE Language Reference - "$packet"

"$packet" contains the full IP packet being inspected, including the IP and sub-protocol headers and data payload (TCP, UDP - etc).

A ROPE script is primarily intended to inspect the contents of this packet and descide whether or not it is of a particular type. This inspection is normally carried out using the "lift" and "expect" family of actions. It is rare for a script to need to refer to $packet directly.

This is a read-only register.
