IPv6 address validation and canonicalization [closed]

Answer 1

For C#, I would recommend the use of IPNetwork Library https://github.com/lduchosal/ipnetwork. As of version 2, it supports IPv4 and IPv6 as well.

IPv6

  IPNetwork ipnetwork = IPNetwork.Parse("2001:0db8::/64");

  Console.WriteLine("Network : {0}", ipnetwork.Network);
  Console.WriteLine("Netmask : {0}", ipnetwork.Netmask);
  Console.WriteLine("Broadcast : {0}", ipnetwork.Broadcast);
  Console.WriteLine("FirstUsable : {0}", ipnetwork.FirstUsable);
  Console.WriteLine("LastUsable : {0}", ipnetwork.LastUsable);
  Console.WriteLine("Usable : {0}", ipnetwork.Usable);
  Console.WriteLine("Cidr : {0}", ipnetwork.Cidr);

Output

Network : 2001:db8::
Netmask : ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::
Broadcast : 
FirstUsable : 2001:db8::
LastUsable : 2001:db8::ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff
Usable : 18446744073709551616
Cidr : 64

Have fun !
