Interface InetNetwork

Inet4Network, Inet6Network

public interface InetNetwork

An InetNetwork represents a IPv4 or IPv6 address with a subnet mask.
The subnet mask allows to represent one or more host (a "network of hosts"). Do not confuse the InetAddress.toString() returning a "hostname/ip_address" (optional hostname) with the InetNetwork.toString() that returns a "ip_address/subnet_mask".
