Side-by-side comparison of Rust crates
38
getserviceip
growingv0.1.2
Web service to get IP addresses from devices.
74
smoltcp
growingv0.13.0
A TCP/IP stack designed for bare-metal, real-time systems without a heap.
72
ipnet
stablev2.12.0
Provides types and useful methods for working with IPv4 and IPv6 network addresses, commonly called IP prefixes. The new `IpNet`, `Ipv4Net`, and `Ipv6Net` types build on the existing `IpAddr`, `Ipv4Addr`, and `Ipv6Addr` types already provided in Rust's standard library and align to their design to stay consistent. The module also provides useful traits that extend `Ipv4Addr` and `Ipv6Addr` with methods for `Add`, `Sub`, `BitAnd`, and `BitOr` operations. The module only uses stable feature so it is guaranteed to compile using the stable toolchain.
