Detailed Description

This class represents and manipulates 128-bit IPv6 networks.

Attributes: [examples for IPv6('2001:658:22A:CAFE:200::1/64')]
    .ip: IPv6Address('2001:658:22a:cafe:200::1')
    .network: IPv6Address('2001:658:22a:cafe::')
    .hostmask: IPv6Address('::ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff')
    .broadcast: IPv6Address('2001:658:22a:cafe:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff')
    .netmask: IPv6Address('ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::')

Member Function Documentation

def multi_interface_roam::ipaddr::IPv6Network::__init__	(	self,
		address,
		strict = `False`
	)

Instantiate a new IPv6 Network object.

Args:
    address: A string or integer representing the IPv6 network or the IP
      and prefix/netmask.
      '2001:4860::/128'
      '2001:4860:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000/128'
      '2001:4860::'
      are all functionally the same in IPv6.  That is to say,
      failing to provide a subnetmask will create an object with
      a mask of /128.

      Additionally, an integer can be passed, so
      IPv6Network('2001:4860::') ==
IPv6Network(42541956101370907050197289607612071936L).
      or, more generally
      IPv6Network(IPv6Network('2001:4860::')._ip) ==
IPv6Network('2001:4860::')

    strict: A boolean. If true, ensure that we have been passed
      A true network address, eg, 192.168.1.0/24 and not an
      IP address on a network, eg, 192.168.1.1/24.

Raises:
    AddressValueError: If address isn't a valid IPv6 address.
    NetmaskValueError: If the netmask isn't valid for
      an IPv6 address.
    ValueError: If strict was True and a network address was not
      supplied.

def multi_interface_roam::ipaddr::IPv6Network::_is_valid_netmask	(	self,
		prefixlen
	)		`[private]`

Verify that the netmask/prefixlen is valid.

Args:
    prefixlen: A string, the netmask in prefix length format.

Returns:
    A boolean, True if the prefix represents a valid IPv6
    netmask.
