Class ACMLocalIps

java.lang.Object

com.microstrategy.webapi.acm.ACMLocalIps

public class ACMLocalIps
extends java.lang.Object

ACMLocalIps provides an efficient way to check if an ip address is a local ip address. This is different from a localhost, which specifically is the loopback (127.0.0.1) address. Rather, it is any ip address that is on a local ip card.

Normally a call to NetworkInterface.getByInetAddress() can be made. But that method is terribly inefficient!
