ipnet 0.28.0

Provides types and methods for working with IPv4 and IPv6 network addresses, commonly called IP prefixes. Uses only stable Rust features and aligns to the standard library IpAddr, Ipv4Addr, and Ipv6Addr types.

Build Status

Nearing 1.0 release, feedback and requests are very welcome. Just open an issue on GitHub or email me.

This module provides types and methods for working with IPv4 and IPv6 network addresses, commonly called IP prefixes. Its design aligns to and makes use of the existing IpAddr, Ipv4Addr, and Ipv6Addr types provided in Rust's standard library. It only uses Rust's stable features,so it's guaranteed to compile with the stable toolchain.

The module also includes some traits that extend Ipv4Addr and Ipv6Addr with methods for Add, Sub, BitAnd, and BitOr operations.

Read the documentation for the full details. And find it on Crates.io.

Future

  • The results of methods such as hosts() and subnets() could be represented as a Range. This requires both the Add and Step traits be implemented on the target types. For IpAddr this requires a change to the standard library. Also Step is still unstable, so exploring this will wait until it has stablized.
  • Implementing the std::ops::{Add, Sub, BitAnd, BitOr} traits for Ipv4Addr and Ipv6Addr would be useful as these are common operations on IP addresses. Add is also a precursor to implementing Range for these types. Implementing these requires a change to the standard library. I've started a thread on this topic on Rust Internals discussion board.
