CIDR-Bottle 1.5.1

CIDR-Bottle is yet another Patricia Trie implementation, however this one is specifically designed for parsing and validating CIDRS in routing tables and ROAs.

CIDR-Bottle

CIDR-Bottle is yet another implementation of a Patricia Trie for handling network routing information (such as ROAs & Routing Tables) for reconciliation. However, unlike other implementations it supports both sub-tree checking and longest-prefix matching.

CIDR-Bottle was designed specifically to be used for reconciling RIR Allocation & Assignment records with actual BGP Announcements. It isn't designed to be the fastest (it's written in pure python), but it should be the most full-featured implementation. That said, unless you're writing a routing engine in python (in which case I'd be really interested to know why), speed shouldn't be a significant issue.

Usage

Initialisation

By default, a CIDR-Bottle is in IPv4 mode, to use IPv6 mode you must supply an IPv6 CIDR.

The root Bottle does not need to be the entire IP space, it can be any subnet.

from cidr_bottle import Bottle
from ipaddress import IPv4Network, IPv6Network

## Defaults to IPv4
root = Bottle()  # 0.0.0.0/0

## IPv6 mode is initialised by passing an IPv6 CIDR (either as an instance of ipaddress.IPv6Network) 
root6 = Bottle(prefix=IPv6Network("::/0"))  # ::/0

## Supports detached (not starting at either 0.0.0.0/0 or ::/0) roots
detached_root = Bottle(prefix=IPv4Network("198.51.100.0/24"))

Racking a Bottle (Inserting a node)

## Supports insert with str
root.insert("198.51.100.0/24")

## Supports insert with instances of ipaddress.IPv4Network
root.insert(IPv4Network("198.51.100.0/24"))

## Supports insert with instances of ipaddress.IPv6Network
root.insert(IPv6Network("2001:db8::/48"))

## Supports attaching any json serializable objects to nodes **This is important for future planned releases**
root.insert("198.51.100.0/24", {"example": "dict"})
root.insert("198.51.100.0/24", "string example")

## Supports automatic aggregation on insert.
root.insert(CIDR("192.0.2.128/25"), value="a")
root.insert(CIDR("192.0.2.0/25"), value="b", aggregate=True)
root.insert(CIDR("192.0.3.0/24"), value="c", aggregate=True)
if root.get(CIDR("192.0.2.0/23")).value == "c":  
    ## This will evaluate as True as the two /25's will trigger the creation of the /24 and the addition of the other adjacent /24
    ## will trigger the creation of the /23 

## Supports dict-style indexing
root["198.51.100.0/24"] = "string example"

Note: Setting aggregate=True will (ifnode.parent.left and node.parent.right are populated) insert the node as normal, automatically set the parent object to passing=False, and copy the value from the current insert to the parent.

Contains CIDR?

Returns True where there is a covering prefix, otherwise false. NOTE: This means that it returns true 100% of the time when the root is 0.0.0.0/0 or ::/0

if "198.51.100.0/24" in root:
    ## do something
### or
if root.contains("198.51.100.0/24"):
    ## do something

You can enforce exact matches by passing exact=True to the contains method.

if not root.contains("198.51.100.128/25", exact=True):
    ## do something

Drinking a Bottle (Get node)

This will return a matching covering prefix if present. In the case of a detached root, this means that it can return None if no such covering prefix exists. NOTE: This is longest prefix matching

print(root["198.51.100.0/24"])
### or
print(root.get("198.51.100.0/24"))

Similar to the .contains(...) method, you can enforce exact matches by passing exact=True to the get method. This will raise a KeyError if there is no exact match.

print(root.get("198.51.100.128/25"), exact=True)  # will raise a KeyError("no exact match found")

Children / Sub-Tree checking

With CIDR-Bottle you can retrieve all the defined children of a bottle(node).

root.insert("198.51.100.0/25")
root.insert("198.51.100.128/25")
print(root["198.51.100.0/24"].children())

Smashing bottles (Deleting Nodes)

Deleting an edge node removes it completely.

Deleting an intermediate node, converts it into a "passing" node, and does not affect any descendants of that node.

del root["198.51.100.0/24"]
### or
root.delete("198.51.100.0/24")

More Speed

If you want to squeeze out every last drop of performance and don't mind the limitation of being forced to use CIDR-Man's CIDR then you can use FastBottle instead of Bottle.
