Detailed Description

a class to represent an Ipv4 address mask

The constructor takes arguments according to a few formats. Ipv4Mask ("255.255.255.255"), Ipv4Mask ("/32"), and Ipv4Mask (0xffffffff) are all equivalent.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ns3::Ipv4Mask::Ipv4Mask

(

)

Will initialize to a garbage value (0x66666666)

ns3::Ipv4Mask::Ipv4Mask

(

uint32_t

mask

)

Parameters:

mask

bitwise integer representation of the mask

For example, the integer input 0xffffff00 yields a 24-bit mask

ns3::Ipv4Mask::Ipv4Mask

(

char const *

mask

)

Parameters:

mask

String constant either in "255.255.255.0" or "/24" format

Member Function Documentation

uint32_t ns3::Ipv4Mask::Get

(

void

)

const

Get the host-order 32-bit IP mask

Returns:

the host-order 32-bit IP mask

static Ipv4Mask ns3::Ipv4Mask::GetLoopback

(

void

)

[static]

Returns:

the 255.0.0.0 mask corresponding to a typical loopback address

static Ipv4Mask ns3::Ipv4Mask::GetOnes

(

void

)

[static]

Returns:

the 255.255.255.255 mask

uint16_t ns3::Ipv4Mask::GetPrefixLength

(

void

)

const

Returns:

the prefix length of mask (the yy in x.x.x.x/yy notation)

static Ipv4Mask ns3::Ipv4Mask::GetZero

(

void

)

[static]

Returns:

the 0.0.0.0 mask

bool ns3::Ipv4Mask::IsEqual

(

Ipv4Mask

other

)

const

Parameters:

other

a mask to compare

Returns:

true if the mask equals the mask passed as input parameter

bool ns3::Ipv4Mask::IsMatch	(	Ipv4Address	a,
		Ipv4Address	b
	)			const

Parameters:

	a	first address to compare
	b	second address to compare

Returns:

true if both addresses are equal in their masked bits, corresponding to this mask

void ns3::Ipv4Mask::Print

(

std::ostream &

os

)

const

Print this mask to the given output stream.

The print format is in the typical "255.255.255.0"

Parameters:

os

The output stream to which this Ipv4Address is printed

void ns3::Ipv4Mask::Set

(

uint32_t

mask

)

input mask is in host order.

Parameters:

mask

The host order 32-bit mask
