Method

StringformatAddress(InetAddress inet)
Formats input address. 
if (inet == null) {
    throw new NullPointerException();
if (inet instanceof Inet4Address) {
    return inet.getHostAddress();
} else if (inet instanceof Inet6Address) {
    byte[] byteRepresentation = inet.getAddress();
    int[] hexRepresentation = new int[IPV6_LEN];
...
StringformatHostAddress(final InetAddress localHost)
format Host Address 
if (localHost instanceof Inet6Address) {
    return "[" + localHost.getHostAddress() + "]";
} else {
    return localHost.getHostAddress();
booleangreaterThan(InetAddress inetAddress1, InetAddress inetAddress2)
Compares two IP addresses. 
byte[] address1 = inetAddress1.getAddress();
byte[] address2 = inetAddress2.getAddress();
for (int i = 0; i < address1.length; i++) {
    if ((address1[i] & 0xFF) > (address2[i] & 0xFF))
        return true;
    else if ((address1[i] & 0xFF) < (address2[i] & 0xFF))
        break;
return false;
booleanhasIp(InetAddress ip)
has Ip 
if (ip == null)
    return false;
NetworkInterface nic = NetworkInterface.getByInetAddress(ip);
return (nic != null && nic.isUp());
booleanhasLocalScope(InetAddress addr)
Returns true when the given address is a local address. 
if (addr == null)
    throw new IllegalArgumentException("Must not be null!");
return (addr.isAnyLocalAddress() || addr.isLinkLocalAddress() || addr.isLoopbackAddress());
InetAddressincrement(InetAddress address)
Increments an IP address by 1. 
try {
    byte[] newAddress = address.getAddress();
    for (int i = newAddress.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
        if (++newAddress[i] != 0x00)
            break;
    return InetAddress.getByAddress(newAddress);
} catch (UnknownHostException e) {
...
intinetAddressCompare(final InetAddress address1, final InetAddress address2)
inet Address Compare 
if (address1 == null || address2 == null) {
    return -1;
if (address1.equals(address2)) {
    return 0;
final byte[] ab1 = address1.getAddress();
final byte[] ab2 = address2.getAddress();
...
ComparatorinetAddressesComparator(final boolean sameHost)
Returns comparator that sorts remote node addresses. 
return new Comparator<InetSocketAddress>() {
    @Override
    public int compare(InetSocketAddress addr1, InetSocketAddress addr2) {
        if (addr1.isUnresolved() && addr2.isUnresolved())
            return 0;
        if (addr1.isUnresolved() || addr2.isUnresolved())
            return addr1.isUnresolved() ? 1 : -1;
        boolean addr1Loopback = addr1.getAddress().isLoopbackAddress();
...
intinetAddressesCompare(final InetAddress[] addresses1, final InetAddress[] addresses2)
inet Addresses Compare 
if (Arrays.equals(addresses1, addresses2)) {
    return 0;
if (addresses1 == null || addresses2 == null) {
    return -1;
if (addresses1.length > addresses2.length) {
    return 1;
...
InetAddressinetAddressFromThriftString(String ipAddress)
inet Address From Thrift String 
return InetAddress.getByName(ipAddress);
