Detailed Description

Class that represents IAPREFIX option in DHCPv6.

It is based on a similar class that handles addresses. There are major differences, though. The fields are in different order. There is also additional prefix length field.

It should be noted that to get a full prefix (2 values: base prefix, and a prefix length) 2 methods are used: getAddress() and getLength(). Although using getAddress() to obtain base prefix is somewhat counter-intuitive at first, it becomes obvious when one realizes that an address is a special case of a prefix with /128. It makes everyone's life much easier, because the base prefix doubles as a regular address in many cases, e.g. when searching for a lease.

When searching for a prefix in the database or simply comparing two prefixes for equality, it is important that only the significant parts of the prefixes are compared. It is possible that the client or a server sends a prefix which has non-significant bits (beyond prefix length) set. The server or client receiving such a prefix should be liberal and not discard this prefix. It should rather ignore the non-significant bits. Therefore the unpack() function, which parses the prefix from the wire, always sets the non-significant bits to 0 so as two prefixes received on the wire can be compared without additional processing.

Todo:: Currently, the constructor which creates the option from the textual format doesn't set non-significant bits to 0. This is because it is assumed that the prefixes from the string are created locally (not received over the wire) and should be validated before the option is created. If we wanted to set non-significant bits to 0 when the prefix is created from the textual format it would have some performance implications, because the option would need to be turned into wire format, appropriate bits set to 0 and then option would need to be created again from the wire format. We may consider doing it if we find a use case where it is required.
