GetEtherAddress

stores an ethernet address from a packet into an annotation.

SYNOPSIS§

GetEtherAddress(ANNO, OFFSET)

Batching: Batching natively supported
Ports: 1 input, 1-2 outputs
Processing: agnostic

DESCRIPTION§

Writes an Ethernet address ADDR into the packet at offset OFFSET. If OFFSET is out of range, the input packet is dropped or emitted on optional output 1.

The OFFSET argument may be 'src' or 'dst'. These strings are equivalent to offsets 6 and 0, respectively, which are the offsets into an Ethernet header of the source and destination Ethernet addresses.
