Detailed Description

A specialization of IPV6Address that provides address validation for multicast addresses.

Whenever its value changes the new value is checked to be in the range from 224.0.0.1 through 239.255.255.255. If it is not, an exception is thrown.

A multicast network address.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ost::IPV6Multicast::IPV6Multicast ( )

Create an Internet Multicast Address object with an empty (0.0.0.0) address.

ost::IPV6Multicast::IPV6Multicast ( const struct in6_addr  address)

Convert the system internet address data type (struct in_addr) into a Common C++ IPV4Multicast object.

Parameters
addressstruct of system used binary internet address.
ost::IPV6Multicast::IPV6Multicast ( const char *  address)

Convert a null terminated ASCII multicast address string (example: "224.0.0.1") or multicast name string (example: "sap.mcast.net") directly into a Common C++ IPV6Multicast object.

Works like IPV6Address(const char*).

Parameters
addressnull terminated C string.
