# AVCustomRoutingPartialIP

An object that represents a full or partial IP address.

```
class AVCustomRoutingPartialIP
```

## Overview

Use this type to define the IP address and subnet mask of known routes on a local network. Create an instance of this class and add it to a custom routing controller’s [`knownRouteIPs`](/documentation/AVRouting/AVCustomRoutingController/knownRouteIPs) array like shown below:

```swift
// Define the IP address.
let anIPAddressInBytes:[UInt8] = [192, 168, 10, 5]
let address = Data(bytes: anIPAddressInBytes, count: anIPAddressInBytes.count)

// Define the subnet mask.
let aMaskInBytes:[UInt8] = [255, 255, 255, 255]
let mask = Data(bytes: aMaskInBytes, count: aMaskInBytes.count)

// Create a new object to represent the address and mask.
let partialIP = AVCustomRoutingPartialIP(address: address, mask: mask)

// Add the instance to the custom routing controller's known routes.
routingController.knownRouteIPs.append(partialIP)
```

## Topics

### Creating an IP fragment

[`init(address:mask:)`](/documentation/AVRouting/AVCustomRoutingPartialIP/init(address:mask:))

Creates an IP fragment.

### Inspecting the IP fragment

[`address`](/documentation/AVRouting/AVCustomRoutingPartialIP/address)

A full or partial IP address for a device known to be on the network.

[`mask`](/documentation/AVRouting/AVCustomRoutingPartialIP/mask)

A mask that represents how many octets of the IP address to respect.
