<dd>

 
Construct a new luci.ip.cidr instance and autodetect the address family. 
Throws an error if the given strings do not represent a valid address or 
if the given optional netmask is of a different family.


<h3>Parameters</h3>
<ul>
	
	<li>
	  address: String containing a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address, optionally 
with prefix size (CIDR notation) or netmask separated by slash.
	</li>
	
	<li>
	  netmask: String containing a valid IPv4 or IPv6 netmask or number 
containing a prefix size in bits (<code>0..32</code> for IPv4, 
<code>0..128</code> for IPv6). Overrides mask embedded in the first argument 
if specified. (optional)
	</li>
	
</ul>


<h3>Usage:</h3>
<pre>addr = luci.ip.new("10.24.0.1/24") 
addr = luci.ip.new("10.24.0.1/255.255.255.0") 
addr = luci.ip.new("10.24.0.1", "255.255.255.0")        -- separate netmask 
addr = luci.ip.new("10.24.0.1/24", 16)                  -- override netmask 
 
addr6 = luci.ip.new("fe80::221:63ff:fe75:aa17/64") 
addr6 = luci.ip.new("fe80::221:63ff:fe75:aa17/ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::")

<h3>Return value:</h3>
A <code>luci.ip.cidr</code> object representing the given 
address/mask range.

	<li>
	  callback: <p>Callback function to invoke for each found route 
instead of returning one table of route objects (optional)</p>
	</li>
	
</ul>


<h3>Usage:</h3>
<ul> 
<li>Find all IPv4 default routes: 
<pre>luci.ip.routes({ dest_exact = "0.0.0.0/0" }, function(rt) 
	print(rt.type, rt.gw, rt.dev) 
end)</pre></li> 
<li>Find all global IPv6 prefixes on the current system: 
<pre>luci.ip.routes({ from = "2001::/7" }, function(rt) 
	print(rt.from) 
end)</pre></li> 
<li>Fetch all IPv4 routes: 
<pre>routes = luci.ip.routes({ family = 4 }) 
for _, rt in ipairs(routes) do 
	print(rt.dest, rt.gw, rt.dev) 
end</pre></li> 
</ul>


<h3>Return value:</h3>
If no callback function is provided, a table of routes 
<a href="#routetable">as specified by <code>luci.ip.route()</code></a> 
is returned. If a callback function is given, it is invoked for each route 
and nothing is returned.

Fetches entries from the IPv4 ARP and IPv6 neighbour kernel table


<h3>Parameters</h3>
<ul>
	
	<li>
	  filter: <p>Table containing one or more of the possible filter 
critera described below (optional)</p><table> 
<tr><th>Field</th><th>Description</th></tr> 
<tr><td><code>family</code></td><td> 
 Number describing the address family to return - <code>4</code> selects 
 IPv4 ARP, <code>6</code> select IPv6 neighbour entries. Any other value 
 selects both.

<tr><td><code>dev</code></td><td> 
 String containing the associated interface to match. 
</td></tr> 
<tr><td><code>dest</code></td><td> 
 String containing the associated address to match. Can be in any notation 
 specified by <code>luci.ip.new()</code>. Prefix matching is performed when 
 comparing the addresses, e.g. "192.168.1.0/24" would select ARP entries 
 for <code>192.168.1.1 .. 192.168.1.255</code>.

	<li>
	  callback: <p>Callback function to invoke for each found neighbour 
entry instead of returning one table of neighbour entries (optional)</p>
	</li>
	
</ul>


<h3>Usage:</h3>
<ul> 
<li>Find all ARP neighbours in the LAN: 
<pre>luci.ip.neighbors({ dest = "192.168.0.0/16" }, function(n) 
	print(n.dest, n.mac) 
end)</pre></li> 
<li>Find all active IPv6 addresses of host with given MAC:

	function(n) 
		print(n.dest) 
	end)</pre></li>

<h3>Return value:</h3>
If no callback function is provided, a table of neighbour entries 
is returned. If a callback function is given, it is invoked for each entry 
and nothing is returned.
