note 85429 added to function.ip2long

to Anonymous @ 29-Aug-2008 10:19 If you're speaking about efficiency, there's no absolute right / wrong as it all depends on the user's needs, specs and requirements. But from what I'm coming from , this method served me well, I've used this to match 2 network ends of approx 2700++ something unique VRFs (Nortel Shasta) and yes, each VRF is a virtualized firewall that consists of at least 20 different network objects (some could have couple of hundreds). Not to mention that these , still have to be compared with another hundreds of contivity boxes and each box have a range of around 1-600 vpn peers (to add more complexity, each peer has around 1-50 network ranges). So, if you do the math, the number of permutations that need to be calculated, is indeed quite complex. I could get the whole result somewhere in around 50-65 secs tops. Had I used a php function to crunch those data the result would have been longer. ---- Server IP: 117.104.160.194 Probable Submitter: 60.241.195.155 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ip2long.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/85429 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85429/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85429/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85429/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85429/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85429/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85429/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85429 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/85429 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
