pcapkit.protocols.internet.ipx contains IPX only, which implements extractor for Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) *, whose structure is described as below:

Octets	Bits	Name	Description
0	0	ipx.cksum	Checksum
2	16	ipx.len	Packet Length (header includes)
4	32	ipx.count	Transport Control (hop count)
5	40	ipx.type	Packet Type
6	48	ipx.dst	Destination Address
18	144	ipx.src	Source Address
