java 子网掩码,使用Java获取ipv4子网掩码

I'm writing because I've some problems finding a correct SubnetMask of my own PC.

I've already read the question How to get subnet mask of local system using java? but if I try:

InetAddress thiscomputer = InetAddress.getLocalHost();

NetworkInterface thisNetworkInterface = NetworkInterface.getByInetAddress(thiscomputer);

int thiscomputerSubnetMask = thisNetworkInterface.getInterfaceAddresses().get(0).getNetworkPrefixLength();

System.out.println("This pc subnetmask: "+thiscomputerSubnetMask);

it will write 64. The object thisNetworkInterface.getInterfaceAddresses() has only one more element and it's 128.

Now, I'm looking for a number that can be used in a ipv4 protocol, and my actual subnet mask is 255.255.255.240, so I'm looking for a 16 (256-240), but I can't get it from the methods I know.

Also I don't even understand what 64 or 128 may represent!

Can anyone help me?

Use the code below to see what the address is from the /64 (the answer will surprise you). The answer is that .getInterfaceAddresses().get(0) is not extensible and may not return the answer you are expecting all the time.

InetAddress localHost = Inet4Address.getLocalHost();

NetworkInterface networkInterface = NetworkInterface.getByInetAddress(localHost);

for (InterfaceAddress address : networkInterface.getInterfaceAddresses()) {

System.out.println(address.getAddress() + "/" + address.getNetworkPrefixLength());

}

EDIT: Here is the output from my machine (a Mac).

/fe80:0:0:0:5ab0:35ff:fe6e:cdc3%6/64

/172.31.255.21/28
