public InetAddress getAddress()
InetAddress for this address.
InetAddress for this address.public InetAddress getBroadcast()
InetAddress for the brodcast address
for this InterfaceAddress.
Only IPv4 networks have broadcast address therefore, in the case
of an IPv6 network, null will be returned.
InetAddress representing the broadcast
address or null if there is no broadcast address.public short getNetworkPrefixLength()
Typical IPv6 values would be 128 (::1/128) or 10 (fe80::203:baff:fe27:1243/10)
short representing the prefix length for the
subnet of that address.public boolean equals(Object obj)
true if and only if the argument is
not null and it represents the same interface address as
this object.
Two instances of InterfaceAddress represent the same
address if the InetAddress, the prefix length and the broadcast are
the same for both.
equals in class Objectobj - the object to compare against.
true if the objects are the same;
false otherwise.hashCode()public int hashCode()
hashCode in class ObjectObject.equals(java.lang.Object),
Hashtablepublic String toString()
String. The
string returned is of the form: InetAddress / prefix length [ broadcast address ].
