Struct sgx_tstd::net::Ipv6Addr

pub struct Ipv6Addr { /* fields omitted */ }

An IPv6 address.

IPv6 addresses are defined as 128-bit integers in IETF RFC 4291. They are usually represented as eight 16-bit segments.

See IpAddr for a type encompassing both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

The size of an Ipv6Addr struct may vary depending on the target operating system.

Textual representation

Ipv6Addr provides a FromStr implementation. There are many ways to represent an IPv6 address in text, but in general, each segments is written in hexadecimal notation, and segments are separated by :. For more information, see IETF RFC 5952.

Methods

impl Ipv6Addr

pub const fn new(
    a: u16,
    b: u16,
    c: u16,
    d: u16,
    e: u16,
    f: u16,
    g: u16,
    h: u16
) -> Ipv6Addr

Creates a new IPv6 address from eight 16-bit segments.

The result will represent the IP address a:b:c:d:e:f:g:h.

pub const LOCALHOST: Self

An IPv6 address representing localhost: ::1.

pub const UNSPECIFIED: Self

An IPv6 address representing the unspecified address: ::

pub fn segments(&self) -> [u16; 8]

Returns the eight 16-bit segments that make up this address.

pub fn is_unspecified(&self) -> bool

Returns true for the special 'unspecified' address (::).

This property is defined in IETF RFC 4291.

pub fn is_loopback(&self) -> bool

Returns true if this is a loopback address (::1).

This property is defined in IETF RFC 4291.

pub fn is_global(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the address appears to be globally routable.

The following return false:

• the loopback address
• link-local and unique local unicast addresses
• interface-, link-, realm-, admin- and site-local multicast addresses

pub fn is_unique_local(&self) -> bool

Returns true if this is a unique local address (fc00::/7).

This property is defined in IETF RFC 4193.

pub fn is_unicast_link_local_strict(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the address is a unicast link-local address (fe80::/64).

A common mis-conception is to think that "unicast link-local addresses start with fe80::", but the IETF RFC 4291 actually defines a stricter format for these addresses:

|   10     |
|  bits    |         54 bits         |          64 bits           |
+----------+-------------------------+----------------------------+
|1111111010|           0             |       interface ID         |
+----------+-------------------------+----------------------------+

This method validates the format defined in the RFC and won't recognize the following addresses such as fe80:0:0:1:: or fe81:: as unicast link-local addresses for example. If you need a less strict validation use is_unicast_link_local() instead.

• is_unicast_link_local()

pub fn is_unicast_link_local(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the address is a unicast link-local address (fe80::/10).

This method returns true for addresses in the range reserved by [RFC 4291 section 2.4], i.e. addresses with the following format:

|   10     |
|  bits    |         54 bits         |          64 bits           |
+----------+-------------------------+----------------------------+
|1111111010|    arbitratry value     |       interface ID         |
+----------+-------------------------+----------------------------+

As a result, this method consider addresses such as fe80:0:0:1:: or fe81:: to be unicast link-local addresses, whereas is_unicast_link_local_strict() does not. If you need a strict validation fully compliant with the RFC, use is_unicast_link_local_strict().

pub fn is_unicast_site_local(&self) -> bool

Returns true if this is a deprecated unicast site-local address (fec0::/10). The unicast site-local address format is defined in RFC 4291 section 2.5.7 as:

|   10     |
|  bits    |         54 bits         |         64 bits            |
+----------+-------------------------+----------------------------+
|1111111011|        subnet ID        |       interface ID         |
+----------+-------------------------+----------------------------+

Warning

As per RFC 3879, the whole FEC0::/10 prefix is deprecated. New software must not support site-local addresses.

pub fn is_documentation(&self) -> bool

Returns true if this is an address reserved for documentation (2001:db8::/32).

This property is defined in IETF RFC 3849.

pub fn is_unicast_global(&self) -> bool

Returns true if the address is a globally routable unicast address.

The following return false:

• the loopback address
• the link-local addresses
• unique local addresses
• the unspecified address
• the address range reserved for documentation

This method returns true for site-local addresses as per RFC 4291 section 2.5.7

The special behavior of [the site-local unicast] prefix defined in [RFC3513] must no longer
be supported in new implementations (i.e., new implementations must treat this prefix as
Global Unicast).

pub fn multicast_scope(&self) -> Option<Ipv6MulticastScope>

Returns the address's multicast scope if the address is multicast.

pub fn is_multicast(&self) -> bool

Returns true if this is a multicast address (ff00::/8).

This property is defined by IETF RFC 4291.

pub fn to_ipv4(&self) -> Option<Ipv4Addr>

Converts this address to an IPv4 address. Returns None if this address is neither IPv4-compatible or IPv4-mapped.

::a.b.c.d and ::ffff:a.b.c.d become a.b.c.d

pub const fn octets(&self) -> [u8; 16]

Returns the sixteen eight-bit integers the IPv6 address consists of.
