Constructs an IPv6 address according to the given host
, addr
and scope_id
.
host | the host name associated with the address. |
---|---|
addr | the network address. |
scope_id | the scope id for link- or site-local addresses. |
UnknownHostException | if the address is null or has an invalid length. |
---|
Gets an IPv6 address instance according to the given host
,
addr
and nif
. scope_id
is set according to the
given nif
and the addr
type (for example site-local or
link-local).
host | the hostname associated with the address. |
---|---|
addr | the network address. |
nif | the network interface that this address is associated with. |
UnknownHostException | if the address is null or has an invalid length or
the interface doesn't have a numeric scope id for the given
address type.
|
---|
Returns the scope id if this address is scoped to an interface, 0 otherwise.
Returns the network interface if this address is instanced with a scoped network interface, null otherwise.
Returns whether this is the IPv6 unspecified wildcard address ::
or the IPv4 "any" address, 0.0.0.0
.
Returns whether this IPv6 address is an IPv4-compatible address or not.
An IPv4-compatible address has the prefix ::/96
and is a deprecated
and no-longer used equivalent of the modern IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses.
Returns whether this address is a link-local address or not.
Valid IPv6 link-local addresses have the prefix fe80::/10
.
RFC 3484
"Default Address Selection for Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6)" states
that both IPv4 auto-configuration addresses (prefix 169.254/16
) and
IPv4 loopback addresses (prefix 127/8
) have link-local scope, but
Inet4Address
only considers the auto-configuration addresses
to have link-local scope. That is: the IPv4 loopback address returns false.
Returns whether this address is a loopback address or not.
Valid IPv4 loopback addresses have the prefix 127/8
.
The only valid IPv6 loopback address is ::1
.
Returns whether this address is a global multicast address or not.
Valid IPv6 global multicast addresses have the prefix ffxe::/16
,
where x
is a set of flags and the additional 112 bits make
up the global multicast address space.
Valid IPv4 global multicast addresses are the range of addresses
from 224.0.1.0
to 238.255.255.255
.
Returns whether this address is a link-local multicast address or not.
Valid IPv6 link-local multicast addresses have the prefix ffx2::/16
,
where x is a set of flags and the additional 112 bits make up the link-local multicast
address space.
Valid IPv4 link-local multicast addresses have the prefix 224.0.0/24
.
Returns whether this address is a node-local multicast address or not.
Valid IPv6 node-local multicast addresses have the prefix ffx1::/16
,
where x is a set of flags and the additional 112 bits make up the link-local multicast
address space.
There are no valid IPv4 node-local multicast addresses.
Returns whether this address is a organization-local multicast address or not.
Valid IPv6 organization-local multicast addresses have the prefix ffx8::/16
,
where x is a set of flags and the additional 112 bits make up the link-local multicast
address space.
Valid IPv4 organization-local multicast addresses have the prefix 239.192/14
.
Returns whether this address is a site-local multicast address or not.
Valid IPv6 site-local multicast addresses have the prefix ffx5::/16
,
where x is a set of flags and the additional 112 bits make up the link-local multicast
address space.
Valid IPv4 site-local multicast addresses have the prefix 239.255/16
.
Returns whether this address is a multicast address or not.
Valid IPv6 multicast addresses have the prefix ff::/8
.
Valid IPv4 multicast addresses have the prefix 224/4
.
Returns whether this address is a site-local address or not.
For the purposes of this method, valid IPv6 site-local addresses have
the deprecated prefix fec0::/10
from
RFC 1884,
not the modern prefix fc00::/7
from
RFC 4193.
RFC 3484
"Default Address Selection for Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6)" states
that IPv4 private addresses have the prefix 10/8
, 172.16/12
,
or 192.168/16
.
true
if this instance represents a site-local address,
false
otherwise.
Returns a string containing the host name (if available) and host address.
For example: "www.google.com/74.125.224.115"
or "/127.0.0.1"
.
IPv6 addresses may additionally include an interface name or scope id.
For example: "www.google.com/2001:4860:4001:803::1013%eth0"
or
"/2001:4860:4001:803::1013%2"
