The Subnet-Router anycast address is predefined. Its format is as follows:
| n bits | 128-n bits | +------------------------------------------------+----------------+ | subnet prefix | 00000000000000 | +------------------------------------------------+----------------+
The "subnet prefix" in an anycast address is the prefix that
identifies a specific link. This anycast address is syntactically
the same as a unicast address for an interface on the link with the
interface identifier set to zero.
Packets sent to the Subnet-Router anycast address will be delivered
to one router on the subnet. All routers are required to support the
Subnet-Router anycast addresses for the subnets to which they have
interfaces.
The Subnet-Router anycast address is intended to be used for
applications where a node needs to communicate with any one of the
set of routers.
Our code has:
@register_filter('first_host_address') def first_host_address(text): """ Return first usable (host) IP address from given prefix. Example: - 10.0.0.0/24 -> 10.0.0.1 - 2001:db8::/64 -> 2001:db8:: """ from ipaddress import ip_interface from ipaddress import IPv4Network from ipaddress import IPv6Network addr = ip_interface(text) if addr.version == 4: return str(addr.ip +1) return str(addr.ip)
Which uses the all zeroes address for the first host
