Soon as you parse the ethernet header, the ethertype tells you ipv4 or pv6, 
etc.

Hi Hemant,

Much appreciated. Thanks for your reply.
I am able to increment the pointer and typecast to see the ipv4 header. I have 
a question here.
If I typecast the packet with ipv4 . Am i not presuming the next field is ipv4 
header ? what in the case if it is ipv6 header ?

I am literally doing a packet parsing here. Is there any vpp example to 
outline how to do it in right way ?

thanks for your understanding
