Module:IP is a library for working with IP addresses and subnets. It can handle both IPv4 and IPv6. The library exports four classes, IPAddress, Subnet, IPv4Collection, and IPv6Collection.

Loading the library

local IP = require('Module:IP')
local IPAddress = IP.IPAddress
local Subnet = IP.Subnet

IPAddress

The IPAddress class is used to work with single IP addresses. To create a new IPAddress object:

local ipAddress = IPAddress.new(ipString)

The ipString variable can be a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address.

Examples:

local ipv4Address = IPAddress.new('1.2.3.4')
local ipv6Address = IPAddress.new('2001:db8::ff00:12:3456')

IPAddress objects can be compared with relational operators:

-- Equality
IPAddress.new('1.2.3.4') == IPAddress.new('1.2.3.4') -- true
IPAddress.new('1.2.3.4') == IPAddress.new('1.2.3.5') -- false

-- Less than / greater than
IPAddress.new('1.2.3.4') < IPAddress.new('1.2.3.5')  -- true
IPAddress.new('1.2.3.4') > IPAddress.new('1.2.3.5')  -- false
IPAddress.new('1.2.3.4') <= IPAddress.new('1.2.3.5') -- true
IPAddress.new('1.2.3.4') <= IPAddress.new('1.2.3.4') -- true

You can use tostring on them (this is equivalent to using getIP):

tostring(IPAddress.new('1.2.3.4'))                -- "1.2.3.4"
tostring(IPAddress.new('2001:db8::ff00:12:3456')) -- "2001:db8::ff00:12:3456"

-- Expanded IPv6 addresses are abbreviated:
tostring(IPAddress.new('2001:db8:0:0:0:0:0:0'))   -- "2001:db8::"

You can also concatenate them:

IPAddress.new('1.2.3.4') .. ' foo'                   -- "1.2.3.4 foo"
IPAddress.new('1.2.3.4') .. IPAddress.new('5.6.7.8') -- "1.2.3.45.6.7.8"

IPAddress objects have several methods, outlined below.

getIP

ipAddress:getIP()

Returns a string representation of the IP address. IPv6 addresses are abbreviated if possible.

Examples:

IPAddress.new('1.2.3.4'):getIP()                -- "1.2.3.4"
IPAddress.new('2001:db8::ff00:12:3456'):getIP() -- "2001:db8::ff00:12:3456"
IPAddress.new('2001:db8:0:0:0:0:0:0'):getIP()   -- "2001:db8::"

getVersion

ipAddress:getVersion()

Returns the version of the IP protocol being used. This is "IPv4" for IPv4 addresses, and "IPv6" for IPv6 addresses.

Examples:

IPAddress.new('1.2.3.4'):getVersion()                -- "IPv4"
IPAddress.new('2001:db8::ff00:12:3456'):getVersion() -- "IPv6"

isIPv4

ipAddress:isIPv4()

Returns true if the IP address is an IPv4 address, and false otherwise.

Examples:

IPAddress.new('1.2.3.4'):isIPv4()                -- true
IPAddress.new('2001:db8::ff00:12:3456'):isIPv4() -- false

isIPv6

ipAddress:isIPv6()

Returns true if the IP address is an IPv6 address, and false otherwise.

Examples:

IPAddress.new('1.2.3.4'):isIPv6()                -- false
IPAddress.new('2001:db8::ff00:12:3456'):isIPv6() -- true

isInSubnet

ipAddress:isInSubnet(subnet)

Returns true if the IP address is in the subnet subnet, and false otherwise. subnet may be a Subnet object or a CIDR string.

Examples:

IPAddress.new('1.2.3.4'):isInSubnet('1.2.3.0/24')                             -- true
IPAddress.new('1.2.3.4'):isInSubnet('1.2.4.0/24')                             -- false
IPAddress.new('1.2.3.4'):isInSubnet(Subnet.new('1.2.3.0/24'))                 -- true
IPAddress.new('2001:db8::ff00:12:3456'):isInSubnet('2001:db8::ff00:12:0/112') -- true

getSubnet

ipAddress:getSubnet(bitLength)

Returns a Subnet object for the subnet with a bit length of bitLength which contains the current IP. The bitLength parameter must be an integer between 0 and 32 for IPv4 addresses, or an integer between 0 and 128 for IPv6 addresses.

Examples:

IPAddress.new('1.2.3.4'):getSubnet(24) -- Equivalent to Subnet.new('1.2.3.0/24')

getNextIP

ipAddress:getNextIP()

Returns a new IPAddress object equivalent to the current IP address incremented by one. The IPv4 address "255.255.255.255" rolls around to "0.0.0.0", and the IPv6 address "ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff" rolls around to "::".

Examples:

IPAddress.new('1.2.3.4'):getNextIP()                -- Equivalent to IPAddress.new('1.2.3.5')
IPAddress.new('2001:db8::ff00:12:3456'):getNextIP() -- Equivalent to IPAddress.new('2001:db8::ff00:12:3457')
IPAddress.new('255.255.255.255'):getNextIP()        -- Equivalent to IPAddress.new('0.0.0.0')

getPreviousIP

ipAddress:getPreviousIP()

Returns a new IPAddress object equivalent to the current IP address decremented by one. The IPv4 address "0.0.0.0" rolls around to "255.255.255.255", and the IPv6 address "::" rolls around to "ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff".

Examples:

IPAddress.new('1.2.3.4'):getPreviousIP()                -- Equivalent to IPAddress.new('1.2.3.3')
IPAddress.new('2001:db8::ff00:12:3456'):getPreviousIP() -- Equivalent to IPAddress.new('2001:db8::ff00:12:3455')
IPAddress.new('0.0.0.0'):getPreviousIP()                -- Equivalent to IPAddress.new('255.255.255.255')

Subnet

The Subnet class is used to work with subnetworks of IPv4 or IPv6 addresses. To create a new Subnet object:

local subnet = Subnet.new(cidrString)

cidrString must be a valid IPv4 or IPv6 CIDR string.

Subnet objects can be compared for equality:

Subnet.new('1.2.3.0/24') == Subnet.new('1.2.3.0/24')                           -- true
Subnet.new('1.2.3.0/24') == Subnet.new('1.2.3.0/25')                           -- false
Subnet.new('1.2.3.0/24') == Subnet.new('2001:db8::ff00:12:0/112')              -- false
Subnet.new('2001:db8::ff00:12:0/112') == Subnet.new('2001:db8::ff00:12:0/112') -- true
Subnet.new('2001:db8:0:0:0:0:0:0/112') == Subnet.new('2001:db8::/112')         -- true

You can use tostring on them (this is equivalent to getCIDR):

tostring(Subnet.new('1.2.3.0/24'))               -- "1.2.3.0/24"
tostring(Subnet.new('2001:db8::ff00:12:0/112'))  -- "2001:db8::ff00:12:0/112"
tostring(Subnet.new('2001:db8:0:0:0:0:0:0/112')) -- "2001:db8::/112"

You can also concatenate them:

Subnet.new('1.2.3.0/24') .. ' foo'                   -- "1.2.3.0/24 foo"
Subnet.new('1.2.3.0/24') .. Subnet.new('4.5.6.0/24') -- "1.2.3.0/244.5.6.0/24"

Subnet objects have several methods, outlined below.

collection:getVersion()

Returns the string "IPv4".

addIP

collection:addIP(ip)

Adds an IP to the collection. The IP can be either a string or an IPAddress object.

Examples:

addFromString

collection:addFromString(str)

Extracts any IPv4 addresses and IPv4 CIDR subnets from str and adds them to the collection. Any text that is not an IPv4 address or CIDR subnet is ignored.

Examples:

collection:addFromString('Add some IPs and subnets: 1.2.3.4 1.2.3.5 2001:0::f foo 1.2.4.0/24')

collection:addSubnet('1.2.10.0/24')
mw.logObject(collection:getRanges())
-- Logs the following:
-- table#1 {
--   table#2 {
--     1.2.0.0,

--   },
-- }

overlapsSubnet

collection:overlapsSubnet(subnet)

Returns true, obj if subnet overlaps this collection, where obj is the first IPAddress or Subnet object overlapping the subnet. Otherwise, returns false. subnet can be a CIDR string or a Subnet object.

Examples:

collection:addIP('1.2.3.4')
collection:overlapsSubnet('1.2.3.0/24') -- true, IPAddress.new('1.2.3.4')
collection:overlapsSubnet('1.2.4.0/24') -- false

IPv6Collection

The IPv6Collection class is used to work with several different IPv6 addresses and IPv6 subnets. IPv6Collection objects are directly analogous to IPv4Collection objects: they contain the same methods and work the same way, but all IP addresses and subnets added to it must be IPv6, not IPv4.

To create a new IPv6Collection object:

local collection = IPv6Collection.new()
