Can Ruby compare IPv6?

ISSSSaki_Baz_C · June 17, 2008, 1:54am

Hi, is there any cool way in Ruby to match two IPv6 that have the same
binary
value? For example:

2001:0DB8:0:0::0:1428:57ab
is the same as:
2001:0DB8:0::0:1428:57ab

Can Ruby match those two IPv6 easily without abing to parse manually
them?

Thanks for any suggestion.

require ‘ipaddr’
#=> true

ip1= IPAddr.new “2001:0DB8:0:0::0:1428:57ab”
#=> #<IPAddr:
IPv6:2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:0000:1428:57ab/ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:f
fff:ffff:ffff:ffff>

ip2= IPAddr.new “2001:0DB8:0::0:1428:57ab”
#=> #<IPAddr:
IPv6:2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:0000:1428:57ab/ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:f
fff:ffff:ffff:ffff>

ip1==ip2
#=> true

kind regards -botp
