1. Overview

   The IPops module offers operations for handling IP addresses, both IPv4
   and IPv6.

   IPv6 is defined in RFC 2460. The same IPv6 address can be represented
   by different ASCII strings, so binary comparison is required. For
   example, the following IPv6 addresses are equivalent:
     * 2001:DB8:0000:0000:0008:0800:200C:417A
     * 2001:DB8:0:0:8:800:200C:417A
     * 2001:DB8::200C:417A

   When using IPv6 in an URI (i.e. a SIP URI) the IP address must be
   written in "IPv6 reference" format (which is the textual representation
   of the IPv6 enclosed between [ ] symbols). An example is
   "sip:alice@[2001:DB8:0:0:8:800:200C:417A]". This allows separation of
   address and port number with a :, like
   "[2001:DB8:0:0:8:800:200C:417A]:5060". This module also allows
   comparing an IPv6 address with its IPv6 reference representation.

4.8. compare_pure_ips (ip1, ip2)

4.9. is_ip_rfc1918 (ip)

   Returns TRUE if the argument is a private IPv4 according to RFC 1918.
   FALSE otherwise.

   Parameters:
     * ip - String or pseudo-variable containing the IP to evaluate.

   This function can be used from REQUEST_ROUTE, FAILURE_ROUTE,
   ONREPLY_ROUTE, BRANCH_ROUTE and LOCAL_ROUTE.

   Example 1.9. is_ip_rfc1918 usage
...
if (is_ip_rfc1918("10.0.123.123")) {
  xlog("L_INFO", "it's a private IPv4\n");
}
...

4.10. is_in_subnet (ip, subnet)

   Returns TRUE if the first argument is an IP address within the (CIDR
   notation) subnet in the second argument. FALSE otherwise.

   Parameters:
     * ip - string or pseudo-variable containing the ip to evaluate.
     * subnet - string or pseudo-variable containing the (CIDR notation)
       subnet to evaluate.

   This function can be used from REQUEST_ROUTE, FAILURE_ROUTE,
   ONREPLY_ROUTE, BRANCH_ROUTE and LOCAL_ROUTE.

   Example 1.10. is_in_subnet usage
...
if (is_in_subnet("10.0.123.123", "10.0.123.1/24")) {
  xlog("L_INFO", "it's in the subnet\n");
}
...

4.11. dns_sys_match_ip(hostname, ipaddr)

   Returns TRUE if ipaddr is associated by DNS to hostname. FALSE
   otherwise. It does not use the internal DNS resolver, but directly
   getaddrinfo(...). All addresses returned for the hostname are checked.
   Note that some hosts may return different lists of IP addresses for
   each query, if the DNS server is configured in that way (e.g., for
   providing load balancing through DNS).

   Parameters:
     * hostname - string or pseudo-variable containing the hostname. The
       resulting IP addresses from DNS query are compared with ipaddr.
     * ipaddr - string or pseudo-variable containing the ip address.

   This function can be used from ANY_ROUTE.

   Example 1.11. dns_sys_match_ip usage
...
if (!dns_sys_match_ip("myhost.com", "1.2.3.4")) {
    xdbg("ip address not associated with hostname\n");
}
...

4.12. dns_int_match_ip(hostname, ipaddr)

   Returns TRUE if ipaddr is associated by DNS to hostname. FALSE
   otherwise. It uses internal DNS resolver. At this moment, the function
   might not check all the IP addresses as returned by dns_sys_match_ip(),
   because the internal resolver targets to discover the first address to
   be used for relaying SIP traffic. Thus is better to use
   dns_sys_match_ip() if the host you want to check has many IP addresses,
   in different address famililies (IPv4/6).

   Parameters:
     * hostname - string or pseudo-variable containing the hostname. The
       resulting IP addresses from DNS query are compared with ipaddr.
     * ipaddr - string or pseudo-variable containing the ip address.

   This function can be used from ANY_ROUTE.

   Example 1.12. dns_int_match_ip usage
...
if (!dns_int_match_ip("myhost.com", "1.2.3.4")) {
    xdbg("ip address not associated with hostname\n");
}
...

4.13. dns_query(hostname, pvid)

   Store the IP addresses and their type that correspond to hostname in a
   config variable $dns(pvid=>key).

   Parameters:
     * hostname - string or pseudo-variable containing the hostname. The
       resulting IP addresses from DNS query are compared with ipaddr.
     * pvid - container id for script variable.

   This function can be used from ANY_ROUTE.

   Example 1.13. dns_query usage
...
if(dns_query("test.com", "xyz"))
{
    xlog(" number of addresses: $dns(xyz=>count)\n");
    xlog(" ipv4 address found: $dns(xyz=>ipv4)\n");
    xlog(" ipv6 address found: $dns(xyz=>ipv6)\n");
    $var(i) = 0;
    while($var(i)<$dns(xyz=>count)) {
        xlog(" #[$var(i)] type ($dns(xyz=>type[$var(i)]))"
             " addr [$dns(xyz=>addr[$var(i)])]\n");
        $var(i) = $var(i) + 1;
    }
}
...
