IP Address Range Comparers

Unsurprisingly, sometimes it is necessary to compare an IIPAddressRange to another. For that an implementation of a Comparer<IIPAddressRange> is just what the code monkey ordered.

DefaultIPAddressRangeComparer

Note

the DefaultIPAddressRangeComparer will happily compare IIPAddressRange of differing address families.

The DefaultIPAddressRangeComparer is a Comparer<IIPAddressRange> that compares implementations of IIPAddressRange first by their IIPAddressRange.Head and then by their total length.

By default the two IIPAddressRange.Head values are compared via the DefaultIPAddressComparer, but that may be overridden by providing your own IComparer<IPAddress> to the appropriate constructor.
