Net_Utils
This module provides network utility functions.
Usage
var net_utils = require('./net_utils');
ip_to_long
// Convert IPv4 to long
var long = net_utils.ip_to_long('11.22.33.44'); // 185999660
long_to_ip
// Convert long to IPv4
var ip = net_utils.long_to_ip(185999660); // 11.22.33.44
dec_to_hex
// Convert decimal to hex
var hex = net_utils.dec_to_hex(20111104); // 132df00
hex_to_dec
// Convert hex to decimal
var dec = net_utils.hex_to_dec('132df00'); // 20111104
is_local_ipv4
// Is IPv4 address on a local network?
net_utils.is_local_ipv4('127.0.0.200'); // true (localhost)
net_utils.is_local_ipv4('169.254.0.0'); // true (link local)
net_utils.is_local_ipv4('226.0.0.1'); // false
is_private_ipv4
// Is IPv4 address in RFC 1918 reserved private address space?
net_utils.is_private_ipv4('10.0.0.0'); // true
net_utils.is_private_ipv4('192.168.0.0'); // true
net_utils.is_private_ipv4('172.16.0.0'); // true
is_local_ipv6
// Is IPv6 addr on local network?
net_utils.is_local_ipv6('::1'); // true (localhost)
net_utils.is_local_ipv6('fe80::') // true (link local)
net_utils.is_local_ipv6('fc00::') // true (unique local)
net_utils.is_local_ipv6('fd00::') // true (unique local)
is_private_ip
// determines if an IPv4 or IPv6 address is on a "private" network
// For IPv4, returns true if is_private_ipv4 or is_local_ipv4 are true
// For IPv6, returns true if is_local_ipv6 is true
