This module provides types and useful methods for working with IPv4 and IPv6 network addresses, commonly called IP prefixes. The new IpNet
, Ipv4Net
, and Ipv6Net
types build on the existing IpAddr
, Ipv4Addr
, and Ipv6Addr
types already provided in Rust's standard library and align to their design to stay consistent.
The module also provides the IpSubnets
, Ipv4Subnets
, and Ipv6Subnets
types for iterating over the subnets contained in an IP address range. The IpAddrRange
, Ipv4AddrRange
, and Ipv6AddrRange
types for iterating over IP addresses in a range. And traits that extend Ipv4Addr
and Ipv6Addr
with methods for addition, subtraction, bitwise-and, and bitwise-or operations that are missing in Rust's standard library.
The module only uses stable features so it is guaranteed to compile using the stable toolchain. Tests aim for thorough coverage and can be found in both the test modules and doctests. Please file an issue on GitHub if you have any problems, requests, or suggested improvements.
Read the documentation for the full details. And find it on Crates.io.
Release 2.0 requirements
Release 2.0 requires Rust 1.26 or later. Release 1.0 used a custom emulated 128-bit integer type (Emu128
) to fully support IPv6 addresses. This has been replaced with Rust's built-in 128-bit integer, which is now stable as of Rust 1.26. There are reports of issues using Rust's 128-bit integers on some targets (e.g. Emscripten). If you have issues on your chosen target, please continue to use the 1.0 release until that has been resolved.
Examples
Create a network address and print the hostmask and netmask
extern crate ipnet;
use std::net::{Ipv4Addr, Ipv6Addr};
use std::str::FromStr;
use ipnet::{IpNet, Ipv4Net, Ipv6Net};
fn main() {
// Create an Ipv4Net and Ipv6Net from their constructors.
let net4 = Ipv4Net::new(Ipv4Addr::new(10, 1, 1, 0), 24).unwrap();
let net6 = Ipv6Net::new(Ipv6Addr::new(0xfd, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0), 24).unwrap();
// They can also be created from string representations.
let net4 = Ipv4Net::from_str("10.1.1.0/24").unwrap();
let net6 = Ipv6Net::from_str("fd00::/24").unwrap();
// Or alternatively as follows.
let net4: Ipv4Net = "10.1.1.0/24".parse().unwrap();
let net6: Ipv6Net = "fd00::/24".parse().unwrap();
// IpNet can represent either an IPv4 or IPv6 network address.
let net = IpNet::from(net4);
// It can also be created from string representations.
let net = IpNet::from_str("10.1.1.0/24").unwrap();
let net: IpNet = "10.1.1.0/24".parse().unwrap();
// There are a number of methods that can be used. Read the
// documentation for the full details.
println!("{} hostmask = {}", net, net.hostmask());
println!("{} netmask = {}", net4, net4.netmask());
}
Subdivide an existing IP network into smaller subnets
extern crate ipnet;
use ipnet::Ipv4Net;
fn main() {
let net: Ipv4Net = "192.168.0.0/23".parse().unwrap();
println!("\n/25 subnets in {}:", net);
// Note: `subnets()` returns a `Result`. If the given prefix length
// is less than the existing prefix length the `Result` will contain
// an error.
let subnets = net.subnets(25)
.expect("PrefixLenError: new prefix length cannot be shorter than existing");
// Output:
// subnet 0 = 192.168.0.0/25
// subnet 1 = 192.168.0.128/25
// subnet 2 = 192.168.1.0/25
// subnet 3 = 192.168.1.128/25
for (i, n) in subnets.enumerate() {
println!("\tsubnet {} = {}", i, n);
}
}
Iterate over the valid subnets between two IPv4 addresses
extern crate ipnet;
use std::net::Ipv4Addr;
use ipnet::Ipv4Subnets;
fn main() {
let start = Ipv4Addr::new(10, 0, 0, 0);
let end = Ipv4Addr::new(10, 0, 0, 239);
println!("\n/0 or greater subnets between {} and {}:", start, end);
// Output all subnets starting with the largest that will fit. This
// will give us the smallest possible set of valid subnets.
//
// Output:
// subnet 0 = 10.0.0.0/25
// subnet 1 = 10.0.0.128/26
// subnet 2 = 10.0.0.192/27
// subnet 3 = 10.0.0.224/28
let subnets = Ipv4Subnets::new(start, end, 0);
for (i, n) in subnets.enumerate() {
println!("\tsubnet {} = {}", i, n);
}
println!("\n/26 or greater subnets between {} and {}:", start, end);
// Output all subnets with prefix lengths less than or equal to 26.
// This results in more subnets, but limits them to a maximum size.
//
// Output:
// subnet 0 = 10.0.0.0/26
// subnet 1 = 10.0.0.64/26
// subnet 2 = 10.0.0.128/26
// subnet 3 = 10.0.0.192/27
// subnet 4 = 10.0.0.224/28
let subnets = Ipv4Subnets::new(start, end, 26);
for (i, n) in subnets.enumerate() {
println!("\tsubnet {} = {}", i, n);
}
}
Aggregate a list of IP prefixes
extern crate ipnet;
use ipnet::IpNet;
fn main() {}
// Example input list of overlapping and adjacent prefixes.
let strings = vec![
"10.0.0.0/24", "10.0.1.0/24", "10.0.1.1/24", "10.0.1.2/24",
"10.0.2.0/24",
"10.1.0.0/24", "10.1.1.0/24",
"192.168.0.0/24", "192.168.1.0/24", "192.168.2.0/24", "192.168.3.0/24",
"fd00::/32", "fd00:1::/32",
];
let nets: Vec<IpNet> = strings.iter().filter_map(|p| p.parse().ok()).collect();
println!("\nAggregated IP prefixes:");
// Output:
// 10.0.0.0/23
// 10.0.2.0/24
// 10.1.0.0/23
// 192.168.0.0/22
// fd00::/31
for n in IpNet::aggregate(&nets) {
println!("\t{}", n);
}
}
Future
- Implementing
std::ops::{Add, Sub, BitAnd, BitOr}
forIpv4Addr
andIpv6Addr
would be useful as these are common operations on IP addresses. If done, the extension traits provided in this module would be removed and the major version incremented. Implementing these requires a change to the standard library. I've started a thread on this topic on the Rust Internals discussion board. - The results of
hosts()
and potentiallysubnets()
should be represented as aRange
rather than the customIpAddrRange
andIpSubnets
types provided in this module. This requires the target types to haveAdd
andStep
implemented for them. ImplementingAdd
forIpAddr
,Ipv4Addr
, andIpv6Addr
requires a change to the standard library (see above). AndStep
is still unstable so exploring this will also wait until it has stablized.
