Does scapy support IEEE 802.1ad?

Question

I've checked the latest Scapy sources and there isn't any 802.1AD support, yet I have seen Scapy scripts referencing Dot1AD.

After some additional searching it turns out that Scapy community has created a fork of Scapy which supports 802.1AD. Here is a link. Scripts referencing Dot1AD use the scapy-com module.

Scapy-Comunity was a fork used as a buffer between open contributions and releases, in the early stages of scapy (when github did not even exist) – Cukic0d May 21 '18 at 09:29

For the record, 802.1ad support was imported into Scapy master on July 30, 2016. So you don't need to get scapy-com (no longer maintained) and can use the "regular" Scapy. The associated layer is Dot1AD().

You can do the following:

>>> packet = Ether(src='94:c6:91:1c:68:c3',dst='94:c6:91:1c:68:1d')

Then add a 802.1ad layer:

packet = packet/Dot1AD(vlan=20)

Then display the packet:

>>> packet.show()
###[ Ethernet ]### 
  dst= 94:c6:91:1c:68:1d
  src= 94:c6:91:1c:68:c3
  type= n_802_AD
###[ 802_1AD ]### 
     prio= 0
     id= 0
     vlan= 20
     type= 0x0

Does scapy support IEEE 802.1ad?
