Method Detail

fromString

public static IPv6Address fromString(String string)

Create an IPv6 address from its String representation. For example "1234:5678:abcd:0000:9876:3210:ffff:ffff" or "2001::ff" or even "::".

Parameters:

string - string representation

Returns:

IPv6 address

fromInetAddress

public static IPv6Address fromInetAddress(InetAddress inetAddress)

Create an IPv6 address from a java.net.Inet6Address.

Parameters:

inetAddress - Inet6Address representation

Returns:

IPv6 address

toInetAddress

public InetAddress toInetAddress()
                          throws UnknownHostException

Throws:

UnknownHostException

add

public IPv6Address add(int value)

Addition. Will never overflow, but wraps around when the highest ip address has been reached.

Parameters:

value - value to add

Returns:

new IPv6 address

subtract

public IPv6Address subtract(int value)

Subtraction. Will never underflow, but wraps around when the lowest ip address has been reached.

Parameters:

value - value to substract

Returns:

new IPv6 address

maskWithNetworkMask

public IPv6Address maskWithNetworkMask(IPv6NetworkMask networkMask)

Mask the address with the given network mask.

Parameters:

networkMask - network mask

Returns:

an address of which the last 128 - networkMask.asPrefixLength() bits are zero

maximumAddressWithNetworkMask

public IPv6Address maximumAddressWithNetworkMask(IPv6NetworkMask networkMask)

Calculate the maximum address with the given network mask.

Parameters:

networkMask - network mask

Returns:

an address of which the last 128 - networkMask.asPrefixLength() bits are one

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

String representation of the IPv6 address, using shorthand notation whenever possible.

toLongString

public String toLongString()

Returns:

String representation of the IPv6 address, never using shorthand notation.

toShortArray

public short[] toShortArray()

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

compareTo
