Struct netsim::Ipv6Range

pub struct Ipv6Range { /* fields omitted */ }

A range of IPv6 addresses with a common prefix

Methods

impl Ipv6Range

pub fn new(addr: Ipv6Addr, bits: u8) -> Ipv6Range

Create a range with the given base IP address and netmask prefix length.

Example

Create the subnet 2000::/12 with Ipv6Range::new(ipv6!("2000::"), 12)

pub fn global() -> Ipv6Range

Return the entire IPv6 range, ::/0

pub fn netmask(&self) -> Ipv6Addr

Get the netmask as an IPv6 address

pub fn netmask_prefix_length(&self) -> u8

Get the number of netmask prefix bits

pub fn base_addr(&self) -> Ipv6Addr

Get the base address of the range, ie. the lowest IP address which is part of the range.

pub fn contains(&self, ip: Ipv6Addr) -> bool

Check whether this range contains the given IP address

Important traits for Vec<u8>

impl Write for Vec<u8>

pub fn split(self, num: u32) -> Vec<Ipv6Range>

Split a range into num sub-ranges

Panics

If the range is too small to be split up that much.

pub fn random_client_addr(&self) -> Ipv6Addr

Get a random IP address from the range which is not the base address or the default for the gateway address.

pub fn next_hop_ip(&self) -> Ipv6Addr

Get a default IP address for the range's next hop. This is one higher than the base address of the range. eg. for 2000::/x the default address for the next hop will be 2000::1
