◆ CombineMask()

Ipv4Address ns3::Ipv4Address::CombineMask ( Ipv4Mask const &  mask) const

Combine this address with a network mask.

This method returns an IPv4 address that is this address combined (bitwise and) with a network mask, yielding an IPv4 network address.

Parameters
maska network mask
Returns
the address combined with the mask

◆ GetSubnetDirectedBroadcast()

Ipv4Address ns3::Ipv4Address::GetSubnetDirectedBroadcast ( Ipv4Mask const &  mask) const

Generate subnet-directed broadcast address corresponding to mask.

The subnet-directed broadcast address has the host bits set to all ones. If this method is called with a mask of 255.255.255.255, (i.e., the address is a /32 address), the program will assert, since there is no subnet associated with a /32 address.

Parameters
maska network mask
Returns
a broadcast address for the subnet.
