AbstractNetworkMatcher makes writing IP Address matchers easier.
AbstractNetworkMatcher provides a means for checking to see whether
a particular IP address or domain is within a set of subnets
These subnets may be expressed in one of several formats:
Format Example
explicit address 127.0.0.1
address with a wildcard 127.0.0.*
domain name myHost.com
domain name + prefix-length myHost.com/24
domain name + mask myHost.com/255.255.255.0
IP address + prefix-length 127.0.0.0/8
IP + mask 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0
