Usage

// Creates an enumerator of public IPv4 addresses that adopts a sequential approach
var enumerator = new SequentialV4IpAddressEnumerator();

// Creates an enumerator of public IPv4 addresses that adopts a staggered approach */
// var enumerator = new StaggeredV4IpAddressEnumerator();

var isForward = true;
var initialIpAddress = IPAddress.Parse("1.2.3.4");
var ipAddresses = enumerator.Enumerate(isForward, initialIpAddress);
foreach (IPAddress ipAddress in ipAddresses)
{
    Console.WriteLine(ipAddress);
}

 

Output

SequentialV4IpAddressEnumerator.cs

1.2.3.4
1.2.3.5
