ipaddress

This package provides classes for working with IP addresses, inspired by the Python ipaddress module.

Here are some of the features:

• Fully supports both IPv4 and IPv6 address spaces
• Efficiently stores addresses in their native format (a sequence of bits)
• Calculations are performed in C++ for improved performance
• Classes are compatible with the tidyverse
• Functions for generation and analysis of IP data

Installation

You can install the released version of ipaddress from CRAN with:

install.packages("ipaddress")

Or you can install the development version from GitHub:

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("davidchall/ipaddress")

Usage

This package provides the ip_address() and ip_network() classes, which can be used as standalone vectors or as columns within data frames and tibbles.

library(tidyverse)
library(ipaddress)

x <- tibble(
  address = ip_address(c("192.168.0.1", "2001:db8::8a2e:370:7334")),
  network = ip_network(c("192.168.100.0/22", "2001:db8::/48"))
)

x
#> # A tibble: 2 x 2
#>                   address          network
#>                 <ip_addr>       <ip_netwk>
#> 1             192.168.0.1 192.168.100.0/22
#> 2 2001:db8::8a2e:370:7334    2001:db8::/48

Input character vectors are validated as they are parsed. Invalid inputs raise a warning and are replaced with NA.

ip_address(c("255.255.255.255", "255.255.255.256"))
#> Warning: Invalid value on row 2: 255.255.255.256
#> <ip_address[2]>
#> [1] 255.255.255.255 <NA>

Functions are provided to enable common tasks:

mutate(x, ipv6 = is_ipv6(address), in_net = is_within(address, network))
#> # A tibble: 2 x 4
#>                   address          network ipv6  in_net
#>                 <ip_addr>       <ip_netwk> <lgl> <lgl> 
#> 1             192.168.0.1 192.168.100.0/22 FALSE FALSE 
#> 2 2001:db8::8a2e:370:7334    2001:db8::/48 TRUE  TRUE
