1.0.0 · sourcepub fn segments(&self) -> [u16; 8]
pub fn segments(&self) -> [u16; 8]
Returns the eight 16-bit segments that make up this address.
§Examples
use std::net::Ipv6Addr;
assert_eq!(Ipv6Addr::new(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0xffff, 0xc00a, 0x2ff).segments(),
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0xffff, 0xc00a, 0x2ff]);
1.7.0 · sourcepub fn is_unspecified(&self) -> bool
pub fn is_unspecified(&self) -> bool
Returns true
for the special ‘unspecified’ address (::
).
This property is defined in IETF RFC 4291.
§Examples
use std::net::Ipv6Addr;
assert_eq!(Ipv6Addr::new(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0xffff, 0xc00a, 0x2ff).is_unspecified(), false);
assert_eq!(Ipv6Addr::new(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0).is_unspecified(), true);
1.7.0 · sourcepub fn is_loopback(&self) -> bool
pub fn is_loopback(&self) -> bool
Returns true
if this is the loopback address (::1
),
as defined in IETF RFC 4291 section 2.5.3.
Contrary to IPv4, in IPv6 there is only one loopback address.
§Examples
use std::net::Ipv6Addr;
assert_eq!(Ipv6Addr::new(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0xffff, 0xc00a, 0x2ff).is_loopback(), false);
assert_eq!(Ipv6Addr::new(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0x1).is_loopback(), true);
sourcepub fn is_global(&self) -> bool
🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (ip
)
pub fn is_global(&self) -> bool
ip
)Returns true
if the address appears to be globally reachable
as specified by the IANA IPv6 Special-Purpose Address Registry.
Whether or not an address is practically reachable will depend on your network configuration.
Most IPv6 addresses are globally reachable; unless they are specifically defined as not globally reachable.
Non-exhaustive list of notable addresses that are not globally reachable:
- The unspecified address (
is_unspecified
) - The loopback address (
is_loopback
) - IPv4-mapped addresses
- Addresses reserved for benchmarking (
is_benchmarking
) - Addresses reserved for documentation (
is_documentation
) - Unique local addresses (
is_unique_local
) - Unicast addresses with link-local scope (
is_unicast_link_local
)
For the complete overview of which addresses are globally reachable, see the table at the IANA IPv6 Special-Purpose Address Registry.
Note that an address having global scope is not the same as being globally reachable, and there is no direct relation between the two concepts: There exist addresses with global scope that are not globally reachable (for example unique local addresses), and addresses that are globally reachable without having global scope (multicast addresses with non-global scope).
§Examples
#![feature(ip)]
use std::net::Ipv6Addr;
// Most IPv6 addresses are globally reachable:
assert_eq!(Ipv6Addr::new(0x26, 0, 0x1c9, 0, 0, 0xafc8, 0x10, 0x1).is_global(), true);
// However some addresses have been assigned a special meaning
// that makes them not globally reachable. Some examples are:
// The unspecified address (`::`)
assert_eq!(Ipv6Addr::UNSPECIFIED.is_global(), false);
// The loopback address (`::1`)
assert_eq!(Ipv6Addr::LOCALHOST.is_global(), false);
// IPv4-mapped addresses (`::ffff:0:0/96`)
assert_eq!(Ipv6Addr::new(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0xffff, 0xc00a, 0x2ff).is_global(), false);
// Addresses reserved for benchmarking (`2001:2::/48`)
assert_eq!(Ipv6Addr::new(0x2001, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1,).is_global(), false);
// Addresses reserved for documentation (`2001:db8::/32`)
assert_eq!(Ipv6Addr::new(0x2001, 0xdb8, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1).is_global(), false);
// Unique local addresses (`fc00::/7`)
assert_eq!(Ipv6Addr::new(0xfc02, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1).is_global(), false);
// Unicast addresses with link-local scope (`fe80::/10`)
assert_eq!(Ipv6Addr::new(0xfe81, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1).is_global(), false);
// For a complete overview see the IANA IPv6 Special-Purpose Address Registry.
sourcepub fn is_unique_local(&self) -> bool
🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (ip
)
pub fn is_unique_local(&self) -> bool
ip
)Returns true
if this is a unique local address (fc00::/7
).
This property is defined in IETF RFC 4193.
§Examples
#![feature(ip)]
use std::net::Ipv6Addr;
assert_eq!(Ipv6Addr::new(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0xffff, 0xc00a, 0x2ff).is_unique_local(), false);
assert_eq!(Ipv6Addr::new(0xfc02, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0).is_unique_local(), true);
sourcepub fn is_unicast(&self) -> bool
🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (ip
)
pub fn is_unicast(&self) -> bool
ip
)Returns true
if this is a unicast address, as defined by IETF RFC 4291.
Any address that is not a multicast address (ff00::/8
) is unicast.
§Examples
#![feature(ip)]
use std::net::Ipv6Addr;
// The unspecified and loopback addresses are unicast.
assert_eq!(Ipv6Addr::UNSPECIFIED.is_unicast(), true);
assert_eq!(Ipv6Addr::LOCALHOST.is_unicast(), true);
// Any address that is not a multicast address (`ff00::/8`) is unicast.
assert_eq!(Ipv6Addr::new(0x2001, 0xdb8, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0).is_unicast(), true);
assert_eq!(Ipv6Addr::new(0xff00, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0).is_unicast(), false);
sourcepub fn is_unicast_link_local(&self) -> bool
🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (ip
)
pub fn is_unicast_link_local(&self) -> bool
ip
)Returns true
if the address is a unicast address with link-local scope,
as defined in RFC 4291.
A unicast address has link-local scope if it has the prefix fe80::/10
, as per RFC 4291 section 2.4.
Note that this encompasses more addresses than those defined in RFC 4291 section 2.5.6,
which describes “Link-Local IPv6 Unicast Addresses” as having the following stricter format:
| 10 bits | 54 bits | 64 bits |
+----------+-------------------------+----------------------------+
|1111111010| 0 | interface ID |
+----------+-------------------------+----------------------------+
So while currently the only addresses with link-local scope an application will encounter are all in fe80::/64
,
this might change in the future with the publication of new standards. More addresses in fe80::/10
could be allocated,
and those addresses will have link-local scope.
Also note that while RFC 4291 section 2.5.3 mentions about the loopback address (::1
) that “it is treated as having Link-Local scope”,
this does not mean that the loopback address actually has link-local scope and this method will return false
on it.
§Examples
#![feature(ip)]
use std::net::Ipv6Addr;
// The loopback address (`::1`) does not actually have link-local scope.
assert_eq!(Ipv6Addr::LOCALHOST.is_unicast_link_local(), false);
// Only addresses in `fe80::/10` have link-local scope.
assert_eq!(Ipv6Addr::new(0x2001, 0xdb8, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0).is_unicast_link_local(), false);
assert_eq!(Ipv6Addr::new(0xfe80, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0).is_unicast_link_local(), true);
// Addresses outside the stricter `fe80::/64` also have link-local scope.
assert_eq!(Ipv6Addr::new(0xfe80, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0).is_unicast_link_local(), true);
assert_eq!(Ipv6Addr::new(0xfe81, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0).is_unicast_link_local(), true);
sourcepub fn is_documentation(&self) -> bool
🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (ip
)
pub fn is_documentation(&self) -> bool
ip
)Returns true
if this is an address reserved for documentation
(2001:db8::/32
).
This property is defined in IETF RFC 3849.
§Examples
#![feature(ip)]
use std::net::Ipv6Addr;
assert_eq!(Ipv6Addr::new(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0xffff, 0xc00a, 0x2ff).is_documentation(), false);
assert_eq!(Ipv6Addr::new(0x2001, 0xdb8, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0).is_documentation(), true);
sourcepub fn is_benchmarking(&self) -> bool
🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (ip
)
pub fn is_benchmarking(&self) -> bool
ip
)Returns true
if this is an address reserved for benchmarking (2001:2::/48
).
This property is defined in IETF RFC 5180, where it is mistakenly specified as covering the range 2001:0200::/48
.
This is corrected in IETF RFC Errata 1752 to 2001:0002::/48
.
#![feature(ip)]
use std::net::Ipv6Addr;
assert_eq!(Ipv6Addr::new(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0xffff, 0xc613, 0x0).is_benchmarking(), false);
assert_eq!(Ipv6Addr::new(0x2001, 0x2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0).is_benchmarking(), true);
sourcepub fn is_unicast_global(&self) -> bool
🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (ip
)
pub fn is_unicast_global(&self) -> bool
ip
)Returns true
if the address is a globally routable unicast address.
The following return false:
- the loopback address
- the link-local addresses
- unique local addresses
- the unspecified address
- the address range reserved for documentation
This method returns true
for site-local addresses as per RFC 4291 section 2.5.7
The special behavior of [the site-local unicast] prefix defined in [RFC3513] must no longer
be supported in new implementations (i.e., new implementations must treat this prefix as
Global Unicast).
§Examples
#![feature(ip)]
use std::net::Ipv6Addr;
assert_eq!(Ipv6Addr::new(0x2001, 0xdb8, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0).is_unicast_global(), false);
assert_eq!(Ipv6Addr::new(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0xffff, 0xc00a, 0x2ff).is_unicast_global(), true);
sourcepub fn multicast_scope(&self) -> Option<Ipv6MulticastScope>
🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (ip
)
pub fn multicast_scope(&self) -> Option<Ipv6MulticastScope>
ip
)Returns the address’s multicast scope if the address is multicast.
§Examples

use std::net::{Ipv6Addr, Ipv6MulticastScope};
assert_eq!(
Ipv6Addr::new(0xff0e, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0).multicast_scope(),
Some(Ipv6MulticastScope::Global)
);
assert_eq!(Ipv6Addr::new(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0xffff, 0xc00a, 0x2ff).multicast_scope(), None);
1.7.0 · sourcepub fn is_multicast(&self) -> bool
pub fn is_multicast(&self) -> bool
Returns true
if this is a multicast address (ff00::/8
).
This property is defined by IETF RFC 4291.

assert_eq!(Ipv6Addr::new(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0xffff, 0xc00a, 0x2ff).is_multicast(), false);
sourcepub fn is_ipv4_mapped(&self) -> bool
🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (ip
)
pub fn is_ipv4_mapped(&self) -> bool
ip
)Returns true
if the address is an IPv4-mapped address (::ffff:0:0/96
).
IPv4-mapped addresses can be converted to their canonical IPv4 address with
to_ipv4_mapped
.
§Examples
#![feature(ip)]
use std::net::{Ipv4Addr, Ipv6Addr};
let ipv4_mapped = Ipv4Addr::new(192, 0, 2, 255).to_ipv6_mapped();
assert_eq!(ipv4_mapped.is_ipv4_mapped(), true);
