IPV6ADDR(3) ipv6addr 1.1 IPV6ADDR(3)

NAME

packet.internet.ipv6addr - IPv6Addr module

DESCRIPTION

Create an object to represent an IPv6 address. An IPv6 address is given either by a series of hexadecimal numbers or using the ":" notation. It provides a mechanism for comparing this object with a regular string. It also takes care of '::' notation and leading zeroes.

CLASSES

class IPv6Addr(builtins.str)

IPv6Addr address object
Usage:


    from packet.internet.ipv6addr import IPv6Addr


    ip = IPv6Addr('fe80000000000000020c29fffe5409ef')
The following expressions are equivalent:


    ip == 0xFE80000000000000020C29FFFE5409EF


    ip == 0xfe80000000000000020c29fffe5409ef


    ip == '0xFE80000000000000020C29FFFE5409EF'


    ip == '0xfe80000000000000020c29fffe5409ef'


    ip == 'FE80000000000000020C29FFFE5409EF'


    ip == 'fe80000000000000020c29fffe5409ef'


    ip == 'FE80:0000:0000:0000:020C:29FF:FE54:09EF'


    ip == 'fe80:0000:0000:0000:020c:29ff:fe54:09ef'


    ip == 'FE80::020C:29FF:FE54:09EF'


    ip == 'fe80::020c:29ff:fe54:09ef'


    ip == 'FE80::20C:29FF:FE54:9EF'


    ip == 'fe80::20c:29ff:fe54:9ef'
