[jira] [Created] (NET-405) Support for IPv6 in SubnetUtils
Support for IPv6 in SubnetUtils
-------------------------------
Key: NET-405
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NET-405
Project: Commons Net
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Marc Lefrancois
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 only are only assigned IPv6 addresses since all available IPv4 address blocks have now been attributed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv4_address_exhaustion

------------------------------------
@Sebb: Sorry, I don't feel good enough with IPv4/v6 to give a good test sample for this issue.
@Ricardo: My previous comment on this issue might help you.

-----------------------------------------
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!

Mickaël Tricot commented on NET-405:
------------------------------------
Some weeks ago, I had to write an IP filter which would work with both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. I needed to register some IP addresses and IP ranges in CIDR format, then to check if a given IP matches one of those. I would have needed these methods to work with IPv6:
- SubnetUtils(String cidrNotation)
- SubnetUtils.SubnetInfo#isInRange(String address)
Instead, I used the IpAddressMatcher from Spring Security (http://static.springsource.org/spring-security/site/docs/3.1.x/apidocs/org/springframework/security/web/util/IpAddressMatcher.html).

--------------------------
Thanks, that's very useful to know.
Would you be able to provide some test data/test cases that could be used to test modifications to the class?

Which of the methods are actually needed for use with IPv6?

Viktor Hedefalk commented on NET-405:
-------------------------------------
I just struck this problem when on a IPv6 network. My use case is similar ti Mickaël's - I have a config on my webapp declaring an IP-range considered the "home net" from where you are allowed to log in. The way I use it, I got a runtime when client has v6 address:
{code}
Message: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Could not parse [0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1%0]
org.apache.commons.net.util.SubnetUtils.toInteger(SubnetUtils.java:229)
org.apache.commons.net.util.SubnetUtils.access$400(SubnetUtils.java:28)
org.apache.commons.net.util.SubnetUtils$SubnetInfo.isInRange(SubnetUtils.java:116)
{code}
I will probably just catch this and say "user is NOT in range" since the range is v4 anyways, but it would be nice to allow v6 in the future.
