NetworkPrimitives

Lightweight library for working with various networking objects

Basic usage

var subnet = Ipv4Subnet.Parse("10.0.0.0/29");
Console.WriteLine($"  Network Address: {subnet.NetworkAddress}");   // 10.0.0.0
Console.WriteLine($"     First Usable: {subnet.FirstUsable}");      // 10.0.0.1
Console.WriteLine($"      Last Usable: {subnet.LastUsable}");       // 10.0.0.6
Console.WriteLine($"Broadcast Address: {subnet.BroadcastAddress}"); // 10.0.0.7
Console.WriteLine($"      Total Hosts: {subnet.TotalHosts}");       // 8
Console.WriteLine($"     Usable Hosts: {subnet.UsableHosts}");      // 6
foreach (var address in subnet.GetUsableAddresses())
{
    Console.WriteLine(address);
}
