Python - IP Address

An IP address (Internet Protocol) is a basic networking concept that provides address assignation capability in a network.
The python module ipaddress is widely used to verify and categorize IP addresses into IPV4 and IPV6 types.
It can also be used to compare IP address values with an IP address arithmetic for handling the IP addresses
Validate the IPV4 Address
The ip_address function verifies the IPV4 address. If the range of values is greater than 0 to 255, then it throws an error.
print (ipaddress.ip_address(u'192.168.0.255'))
print (ipaddress.ip_address(u'192.168.0.256'))
Output of the program as follows:
192.168.0.255
ValueError: u'192.168.0.256' does not appear to be an IPv4 or IPv6 address
Validate the IPV6 Address
The ip_address function verifies the IPV6 address. If the range of values is greater than 0 to ffff, then it throws an error.
print (ipaddress.ip_address(u'FFFF:9999:2:FDE:257:0:2FAE:112D'))
#invalid IPV6 address
print (ipaddress.ip_address(u'FFFF:10000:2:FDE:257:0:2FAE:112D'))
Output of the program as follows:
ffff:9999:2:fde:257:0:2fae:112d
ValueError: u'FFFF:10000:2:FDE:257:0:2FAE:112D' does not appear to be an IPv4 or IPv6 address

Check the Type of IP Address
We can provide the IP address of various formats and the module will be able to identify valid formats. It will also indicate the IP address category.
print type(ipaddress.ip_address(u'192.168.0.255'))
print type(ipaddress.ip_address(u'2001:db8::'))
print ipaddress.ip_address(u'192.168.0.255').reverse_pointer
print ipaddress.ip_network(u'192.168.0.0/28')
Output of the program as follows:
255.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa
192.168.0.0/28
Comparison of IP Addresses
We can make logical comparisons of IP addresses to determine if they are equal or not. We can also compare if one IP address is larger than the other by its value.
print (ipaddress.IPv4Address(u'192.168.0.2') > ipaddress.IPv4Address(u'192.168.0.1'))
print (ipaddress.IPv4Address(u'192.168.0.2') == ipaddress.IPv4Address(u'192.168.0.1'))
print (ipaddress.IPv4Address(u'192.168.0.2') != ipaddress.IPv4Address(u'192.168.0.1'))
Output of the program as follows:
True
False
True
IP Addresses Arithmetic
We can also use arithmetic operations to manage IP addresses. We may add or remove integer values to an IP address. If after adding the value of the last octet exceeds 255 the previous octet rises to accept the value. If the additional value cannot be deducted by any previous octet when a value error arises.
print (ipaddress.IPv4Address(u'192.168.0.2')+1)
print (ipaddress.IPv4Address(u'192.168.0.253')-3)
# Increases the previous octet by value 1.
print (ipaddress.IPv4Address(u'192.168.10.253')+3)
# Throws Value error
print (ipaddress.IPv4Address(u'255.255.255.255')+1)
Output of the program as follows:
192.168.0.3
192.168.0.250
192.168.11.0
AddressValueError: 4294967296 (>= 2**32) is not permitted as an IPv4 address
