From class java.lang.Object

Object	clone() Returns a new instance of the same class as the receiver, whose slots have been filled in with the values in the slots of the receiver.
boolean	equals(Object o) Compares the argument to the receiver, and returns true if they represent the same object using a class specific comparison.

final void	notifyAll() Causes all threads which are `wait` ing on the receiver to be made ready to run.
String	toString() Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of the receiver.
final void	wait(long time, int frac) Causes the thread which sent this message to be made not ready to run either pending some change in the receiver (as indicated by `notify` or `notifyAll`) or the expiration of the timeout.
final void	wait(long time) Causes the thread which sent this message to be made not ready to run either pending some change in the receiver (as indicated by `notify` or `notifyAll`) or the expiration of the timeout.

Public Methods

public boolean equals (Object obj)

Returns true if obj is of the same type as the IPv4 address and they have the same IP address, false otherwise.

Parameters

obj	the object to be tested for equality

Returns

true if equal and false otherwise

public String getHostAddress ()

Returns a String representation of the IP address.

Returns

Host address

public int hashCode ()

Overrides the basic hashcode function.

Returns

the hash code

public boolean isAnyLocalAddress ()

Returns if the address is the ANY Address

Returns

boolean

public boolean isLinkLocalAddress ()

Returns whether this address has link-local scope. RFC 3484 Default Address Selection for Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) states IPv4 auto-configuration addresses, prefix 169.254/16, IPv4 loopback addresses, prefix 127/8, are assigned link-local scope.

Returns

boolean

public boolean isLoopbackAddress ()

Returns true if the address is a loopback address. Loopback ipv4 addresses are prefixed with: 011111111 = 127

Returns

boolean

public boolean isMCGlobal ()

Returns true if an address is a global multicast address. Valid MCGlobal IPv4 addresses are 224.0.1.0 - 238.255.255.255

Returns

boolean true, if the address is in the global multicast group, false otherwise

public boolean isMCLinkLocal ()

Returns true if the address is a link-local address.The valid range for IPv4 link-local addresses is: 224.0.0.0 to 239.0.0.255 Hence a mask of 111000000000000000000000 = 0xE00000

Returns

boolean

public boolean isMCNodeLocal ()

Returns false for all IPv4 addresses. There are no valid IPv4 Node-local addresses

Returns

boolean

public boolean isMCOrgLocal ()

Returns true if the address is a organization-local address. The valid range for IPv4 org-local addresses is: 239.192.0.0 to 239.195.255.255 Hence masks of 11101111 11000000 to 11101111 11000011 are valid. 0xEFC0 to 0xEFC3

Returns

true if org local address, false otherwise

public boolean isMCSiteLocal ()

Returns true if the address is a site-local address.The valid range for IPv4 site-local addresses is: 239.255.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 Hence a mask of 11101111 11111111 = 0xEFFF.

Returns

boolean

public boolean isMulticastAddress ()

Returns true if the address is a multicast address. Valid IPv4 multicast addresses are prefixed with 1110 = 0xE

Returns

boolean

public boolean isSiteLocalAddress ()

Returns whether this address has site-local scope. RFC 3484 Default Address Selection for Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) states IPv4 private addresses, prefixes 10/8, 172.16/12, and 192.168/16, are assigned site-local scope.
