Sounds like a very useful class to me also.

It's useful for writing IP filters (firewall-esque) and such.  It uses
bitwise mathematical calculations to do the matching, so it's quick and
solid.

Hi A.J.,
   I'd be interested in this class. Have you submitted a CLA to Zend? If so,
why don't you submit a proposal at
http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFPROP/Home

Thanks.

Hello all,

I wrote a library for matching IP addresses, ranges, and networks against

I'd like to adapt it into Zend Framework.  What are your thoughts on creating a 
Zend_Net package?

Here are some quick off-the-top classes I think would be useful:

Zend_Net_Address (for example)
* Class to represent and translate IP addresses (IPv4 -> IPv6 for example)
* Class to represent and translate network addresses
* Class to represent other protocol addresses, such as MAC address
* Class to handle matching an input IP or range against a pool of classes from 
the above examples


quick ex:

$oNetwork = new Zend_Net_Address_Network_IPv4( '192.168.0.0', '255.255.255.0' );

// give me an array of Zend_Net_Address_Host_IPv4 objects within this network
$aAddressesIp4 = $oNetwork->getAddresses();

// tell me the class of some IPv4 address
$oHost = new Zend_Net_Address_IPv4( $sUserInput );
echo $oHost->getNetworkClass();

// is the address a private address?
echo $oHost->isPrivate() ? 'yes' : 'no';


What are your thoughts?  I can think of a few use-cases where this would be 
useful for rapid development and easy cooperation with the rest of Zend 
Framework.
