[jira] [Commented] (NET-405) Support for IPv6 in SubnetUtils

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NET-405?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13422389#comment-13422389 ] 

Ricardo F. Teixeira commented on NET-405:
-----------------------------------------

Are there any plans to support IPv6?
Does anyone know any solution that works similarly to {{SubnetUtils}} that can handle both IPv4 and IPv6. If you do, could you please forward the reference to me?
Thanks!

> Currently, we cannot use org.apache.commons.net.util.SubnetUtils with IPv6 addresses. This class will become less and less useful as more internet device are only assigned IPv6 addresses since all available IPv4 address blocks have now been attributed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv4_address_exhaustion
