Class Hierarchy

• object: The most base type
  • netaddr.address.Addr: The base class containing common functionality for all subclasses representing various network address types.
    • netaddr.address.EUI: EUI objects represent IEEE Extended Unique Identifiers.
    • netaddr.address.IP: A class whose objects represent Internet Protocol network addresses.
  • netaddr.address.AddrRange: A block of contiguous network addresses bounded by an arbitrary start and stop address.
    • netaddr.address.CIDR: A block of contiguous IPv4 or IPv6 network addresses defined by a base network address and a bitmask prefix or subnet mask address indicating the size/extent of the subnet.
    • netaddr.address.Wildcard: A block of contiguous IPv4 network addresses defined using a wildcard style syntax.
  • netaddr.strategy.AddrStrategy: Very basic support for all common operations performed on each network type.
    • netaddr.strategy.EUI48Strategy: Implements the operations that can be performed on an IEEE 48-bit EUI (Extended Unique Identifer).
    • netaddr.strategy.IPv4StrategyStd: A 'safe' AddrStrategy for IPv4 addresses.
      • netaddr.strategy.IPv4StrategyOpt: An optimised AddrStrategy for IPv4 addresses.
    • netaddr.strategy.IPv6Strategy: Implements the operations that can be performed on an Internet Protocol version 6 network address in accordance with RFC 4291.
  • netaddr.address.AddrTypeDescriptor: A descriptor that checks addr_type property assignments for validity and also keeps the strategy property in sync with any changes made.
  • netaddr.address.AddrValueDescriptor: A descriptor that checks assignments to the named parameter passed to the constructor.
  • exceptions.BaseException: Common base class for all exceptions
    • exceptions.Exception: Common base class for all non-exit exceptions.
      • netaddr.AddrConversionError: Conversion between address types or notations failed.
      • netaddr.AddrFormatError: Network address format not recognised.
  • netaddr.address.KlassDescriptor: A descriptor that checks klass (data flavour) property assignments for validity.
  • netaddr.address.PrefixLenDescriptor: A descriptor that checks prefixlen property assignments for validity based on address type.
  • netaddr.address.StrategyDescriptor: A descriptor that checks strategy property assignments for validity and also keeps the addr_type property in sync with any changes made.
