To import IPV4-ADDRESS.H packages in NS3 our developers support common operations like checking for broadcast addresses, network masks, and address validity. Be in touch with us for more project guidance. The Ipv4Address class represents an IPv4 address in simulations. It offers different methods for managing IPv4 addresses, such as creating, comparing, and converting between string and numeric forms. This class allows for common tasks like checking broadcast addresses, network masks, and validating addresses. The Ipv4Address class is essential to NS-3’s Internet module, playing a key role in routing, packet forwarding, and network setup.
The steps that are required for the installation of ipv4-address.h.
PRE-REQUISITES:
- Fresh installation of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS:

HEADER FILE VERIFICATION:
- Locate to the ns3/src/internet/examples folder:

2.Copy the main-simple.cc file to scratch folder:
Next we need to copy the main-simple.cc file from internet/example folder.to the ns3/scratch folder.
Screenshot:
Next we need to paste the main-simple.cc file to the ns3/scratch folder.

3.Open the Terminal:
Next, we need to launch the terminal by right clicking the mouse in the ns3 location.

4.NS-3.35 Configuration && Building Process:
Next, we need to configure and build the ns3 folder to make the copied files to the scratch need to store in configuration.
Command: “./waf configure && ./waf build”

5.Importing Ipv4-address.h:
Here we imported the ipv4-address.h header file in this example program.
Screenshot:
Here we highlighted the code line that GetAny() class which is the part of the Ipv4-address.h that we will show class file that used in this code via network folder.

Screenshot:
Here we will show the header file by opening ipv4-address.h file to show the class imported from the Ipv4-address.h in the example code.

6.Executing the Example Ipv4-address Program:
Then we need to run the Example ipv4-address program to view output of the program.
Command: “./waf –run main-simple”
Screenshot:
Here we shown the output of the example ipv4-address program by using ipv4-address.h.
