noexcept

Gets whether the IP address is an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address.

Returns

true if the IP address is an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Dual-stack sockets always require IPv6 addresses. The ability to interact with an IPv4 address requires the use of the IPv4-mapped IPv6 address format.

The IPv4-mapped IPv6 address format allows the IPv4 address of an IPv4 node to be represented as an IPv6 address. The IPv4 address is encoded into the low-order 32 bits of the IPv6 address, and the high-order 96 bits hold the fixed prefix 0:0:0:0:0:FFFF. The IPv4-mapped IPv6 address format is specified in RFC 4291. For more information, see www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4291.txt.

is_ip_v6_link_local()

Returns

bool true if the IP address is an IPv6 multicast global address; otherwise, false.

Returns

true if the IP address is an IPv6 Teredo address; otherwise, false.

static

Indicates whether the specified IP address is the loopback address.

Parameters

address

An IP address.

ip_address xtd::net::ip_address::map_to_ip_v4 ( ) const

noexcept

Returns

An IPv4 address.

Remarks

Different computers use different conventions for ordering the bytes within multibyte integer values. Some computers put the most significant byte first (known as big-endian order) and others put the least-significant byte first (known as little-endian order). To work with computers that use different byte ordering, all integer values that are sent over the network are sent in network byte order which has the most significant byte first.

The xtd::net::sockets::socket::network_to_host_order method converts multibyte integer values that are stored on the host system from the byte order used by the network to the byte order used by the host.

parse()

static ip_address xtd::net::ip_address::parse ( const ustring &  str )

static

Converts an IP address string to an xtd::net::ip_address instance.

Parameters

str	A string that contains an IP address in dotted-quad notation for IPv4 and in colon-hexadecimal notation for IPv6.

Returns

An xtd::net::ip_address instance.

Exceptions

xtd::format_exception

str is not a valid IP address.

Remarks

The static xtd::net::ip_address::parse method creates an xtd::net::ip_address instance from an IP address expressed in dotted-quad notation for IPv4 and in colon-hexadecimal notation for IPv6.

The number of parts (each part is separated by a period) in str determines how the IP address is constructed. A one part address is stored directly in the network address. A two part address, convenient for specifying a class A address, puts the leading part in the first byte and the trailing part in the right-most three bytes of the network address. A three part address, convenient for specifying a class B address, puts the first part in the first byte, the second part in the second byte, and the final part in the right-most two bytes of the network address.
