Struct std::net::Ipv4Addr

pub struct Ipv4Addr { /* fields omitted */ }

An IPv4 address.

IPv4 addresses are defined as 32-bit integers in IETF RFC 791. They are usually represented as four octets.

See IpAddr for a type encompassing both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

The size of an Ipv4Addr struct may vary depending on the target operating system.

Textual representation

Ipv4Addr provides a FromStr implementation. The four octets are in decimal notation, divided by . (this is called "dot-decimal notation").

Examples

use std::net::Ipv4Addr;

let localhost = Ipv4Addr::new(127, 0, 0, 1);
assert_eq!("127.0.0.1".parse(), Ok(localhost));
assert_eq!(localhost.is_loopback(), true);

Methods

impl Ipv4Addr

pub const fn new(a: u8, b: u8, c: u8, d: u8) -> Ipv4Addr

Creates a new IPv4 address from four eight-bit octets.

The result will represent the IP address a.b.c.d.

Examples

use std::net::Ipv4Addr;

let addr = Ipv4Addr::new(127, 0, 0, 1);

pub const LOCALHOST: Self

An IPv4 address with the address pointing to localhost: 127.0.0.1.

Examples

use std::net::Ipv4Addr;

let addr = Ipv4Addr::LOCALHOST;
assert_eq!(addr, Ipv4Addr::new(127, 0, 0, 1));

pub const UNSPECIFIED: Self

An IPv4 address representing an unspecified address: 0.0.0.0

Examples

use std::net::Ipv4Addr;

let addr = Ipv4Addr::UNSPECIFIED;
assert_eq!(addr, Ipv4Addr::new(0, 0, 0, 0));

pub const BROADCAST: Self

An IPv4 address representing the broadcast address: 255.255.255.255

Examples

use std::net::Ipv4Addr;

let addr = Ipv4Addr::BROADCAST;
assert_eq!(addr, Ipv4Addr::new(255, 255, 255, 255));

pub fn octets(&self) -> [u8; 4]

Returns the four eight-bit integers that make up this address.

Examples

use std::net::Ipv4Addr;

let addr = Ipv4Addr::new(127, 0, 0, 1);
assert_eq!(addr.octets(), [127, 0, 0, 1]);

pub const fn is_unspecified(&self) -> bool

Returns true for the special 'unspecified' address (0.0.0.0).

This property is defined in UNIX Network Programming, Second Edition, W. Richard Stevens, p. 891; see also ip7.

Examples

use std::net::Ipv4Addr;

assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(0, 0, 0, 0).is_unspecified(), true);
assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(45, 22, 13, 197).is_unspecified(), false);

pub fn is_loopback(&self) -> bool

Returns true if this is a loopback address (127.0.0.0/8).

This property is defined by IETF RFC 1122.

Examples

use std::net::Ipv4Addr;

assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(127, 0, 0, 1).is_loopback(), true);
assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(45, 22, 13, 197).is_loopback(), false);

pub fn is_private(&self) -> bool

Returns true if this is a private address.

The private address ranges are defined in IETF RFC 1918 and include:

• 10.0.0.0/8
• 172.16.0.0/12
• 192.168.0.0/16

Examples

use std::net::Ipv4Addr;

assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(10, 0, 0, 1).is_private(), true);
assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(10, 10, 10, 10).is_private(), true);
assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(172, 16, 10, 10).is_private(), true);
assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(172, 29, 45, 14).is_private(), true);
assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(172, 32, 0, 2).is_private(), false);

assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(192, 169, 0, 2).is_private(), false);

pub fn is_link_local(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the address is link-local (169.254.0.0/16).

assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(169, 254, 0, 0).is_link_local(), true);
assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(169, 254, 10, 65).is_link_local(), true);
assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(16, 89, 10, 65).is_link_local(), false);

pub fn is_global(&self) -> bool

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (ip #27709)

extra functionality has not been scrutinized to the level that it should be to be stable

Returns true if the address appears to be globally routable. See iana-ipv4-special-registry.

The following return false:

• private addresses (see is_private())
• the loopback address (see is_loopback())
• the link-local address (see is_link_local())
• the broadcast address (see is_broadcast())
• addresses used for documentation (see is_documentation())
• the unspecified address (see is_unspecified()), and the whole 0.0.0.0/8 block
• addresses reserved for future protocols (see is_ietf_protocol_assignment(), except 192.0.0.9/32 and 192.0.0.10/32 which are globally routable
• addresses reserved for future use (see is_reserved()
• addresses reserved for networking devices benchmarking (see is_benchmarking)

Examples

#![feature(ip)]
use std::net::Ipv4Addr;

fn main() {
    assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(100, 64, 0, 0).is_shared(), true);
    assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(100, 127, 255, 255).is_shared(), true);
    assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(100, 128, 0, 0).is_shared(), false);
}

pub fn is_ietf_protocol_assignment(&self) -> bool

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (ip #27709)

extra functionality has not been scrutinized to the level that it should be to be stable

Returns true if this address is part of 192.0.0.0/24, which is reserved to IANA for IETF protocol assignments, as documented in IETF RFC 6890.

Note that parts of this block are in use:

• 192.0.0.8/32 is the "IPv4 dummy address" (see IETF RFC 7600)
• 192.0.0.9/32 is the "Port Control Protocol Anycast" (see IETF RFC 7723)
• 192.0.0.10/32 is used for NAT traversal (see IETF RFC 8155)

Examples

#![feature(ip)]
use std::net::Ipv4Addr;

fn main() {
    assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(192, 0, 0, 0).is_ietf_protocol_assignment(), true);
    assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(192, 0, 0, 8).is_ietf_protocol_assignment(), true);

}

pub fn is_benchmarking(&self) -> bool

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (ip #27709)

extra functionality has not been scrutinized to the level that it should be to be stable

Returns true if this address part of the 198.18.0.0/15 range, which is reserved for network devices benchmarking. This range is defined in [IETF RFC 2544] as 192.18.0.0 through 198.19.255.255 but [errata 423] corrects it to 198.18.0.0/15.

Examples

#![feature(ip)]
use std::net::Ipv4Addr;

fn main() {
    assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(198, 17, 255, 255).is_benchmarking(), false);
    assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(198, 18, 0, 0).is_benchmarking(), true);
    assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(198, 19, 255, 255).is_benchmarking(), true);
    assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(198, 20, 0, 0).is_benchmarking(), false);
}

pub fn is_reserved(&self) -> bool

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (ip #27709)

extra functionality has not been scrutinized to the level that it should be to be stable

Returns true if this address is reserved by IANA for future use. IETF RFC 1112 defines the block of reserved addresses as 240.0.0.0/4. This range normally includes the broadcast address 255.255.255.255, but this implementation explicitely excludes it, since it is obviously not reserved for future use.

Warning

As IANA assigns new addresses, this method will be updated. This may result in non-reserved addresses being treated as reserved in code that relies on an outdated version of this method.

Examples

#![feature(ip)]
use std::net::Ipv4Addr;

fn main() {
    assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(240, 0, 0, 0).is_reserved(), true);
    assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(255, 255, 255, 254).is_reserved(), true);

    assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(239, 255, 255, 255).is_reserved(), false);
    // The broadcast address is not considered as reserved for future use by this
    // implementation
    assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(255, 255, 255, 255).is_reserved(), false);
}

pub fn is_multicast(&self) -> bool

Returns true if this is a multicast address (224.0.0.0/4).

Multicast addresses have a most significant octet between 224 and 239, and is defined by IETF RFC 5771.

Examples

use std::net::Ipv4Addr;

assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(224, 254, 0, 0).is_multicast(), true);
assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(236, 168, 10, 65).is_multicast(), true);
assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(172, 16, 10, 65).is_multicast(), false);

pub fn is_broadcast(&self) -> bool

Returns true if this is a broadcast address (255.255.255.255).

A broadcast address has all octets set to 255 as defined in IETF RFC 919.

Examples

use std::net::Ipv4Addr;

assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(255, 255, 255, 255).is_broadcast(), true);
assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(236, 168, 10, 65).is_broadcast(), false);

pub fn is_documentation(&self) -> bool

Returns true if this address is in a range designated for documentation.

This is defined in IETF RFC 5737:

• 192.0.2.0/24 (TEST-NET-1)
• 198.51.100.0/24 (TEST-NET-2)
• 203.0.113.0/24 (TEST-NET-3)

Examples

use std::net::Ipv4Addr;

assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(192, 0, 2, 255).is_documentation(), true);
assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(198, 51, 100, 65).is_documentation(), true);
assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(203, 0, 113, 6).is_documentation(), true);
assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(193, 34, 17, 19).is_documentation(), false);

pub fn to_ipv6_compatible(&self) -> Ipv6Addr

a.b.c.d becomes ::a.b.c.d

Examples

use std::net::{Ipv4Addr, Ipv6Addr};

assert_eq!(Ipv4Addr::new(192, 0, 2, 255).to_ipv6_compatible(),
           Ipv6Addr::new(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 49152, 767));

pub fn to_ipv6_mapped(&self) -> Ipv6Addr
