Limitations and assumptions

  • Syntax and arithmetic validity do not establish reachability, ownership, routing, DNS, privacy, or authorization. IPv4 special-use ranges, IPv6 scopes and compression, prefix boundaries, mapped forms, and host-count conventions require explicit handling.
  • Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Alternative or Complementary approaches

Validate against current IANA registries and the target platform, test boundary prefixes, and use live network tools only with appropriate authorization.
