<p>Specific classes, such as <a class="el" href="classost_1_1_i_p_v4_host.html" title="This object is used to hold the actual and valid internet address of a specific host...">IPV4Host</a>, <a class="el" href="classost_1_1_i_p_v6_mask.html" title="Internet addresses used specifically as masking addresses (such as " 255.255...">IPV6Mask</a>, etc, are defined from <a class="el" href="classost_1_1_i_p_v6_address.html" title="The network name and address objects are all derived from a common IPV6Address base...">IPV6Address</a> entirely so that the manner a network address is being used can easily be documented and understood from the code and to avoid common errors and accidental misuse of the wrong address object. For example, a "connection" to something that is declared as a "IPV6Host" can be kept type-safe from a "connection" accidently being made to something that was declared a "IPV6Broadcast".</p>
