public IPv4AddressSection reverseBits(boolean perByte)
```
    Description copied from interface: IPAddressSegmentSeries
    
    Returns a new series which has the bits reversed.
    If this has an associated prefix length, then the prefix length is dropped in the reversed series.
    If this represents a range of values that cannot be reversed, because reversing the range results in a set of addresses that cannot be described by a range, then this throws IncompatibleAddressException. In such cases you can call IPAddressSegmentSeries.iterator(), IPAddressSegmentSeries.getLower(), IPAddressSegmentSeries.getUpper() or some other method to transform the address into an address representing a single value before reversing.

public IPv4AddressSection increment(long increment)
```
    Description copied from interface: AddressSegmentSeries
    
    Returns the series from the subnet that is the given increment upwards into the subnet range, with the increment of 0 returning the first address in the range.
    If the subnet has multiple values and the increment exceeds the subnet size, then the amount by which it exceeds the size - 1 is added to the upper series of the range (the final iterator value).
    If the increment is negative, it is added to the lower series of the range (the first iterator value).
    If the subnet is just a single address values, the series is simply incremented by the given value, positive or negative.
    If a subnet has multiple values, a positive increment value is equivalent to the same number of values from the AddressSegmentSeries.iterator() For instance, a increment of 0 is the first value from the iterator, an increment of 1 is the second value from the iterator, and so on. A negative increment added to the subnet count is equivalent to the same number of values preceding the upper bound of the iterator. For instance, an increment of count - 1 is the last value from the iterator, an increment of count - 2 is the second last value, and so on.
    An increment of size count gives you the series just above the highest series of the subnet. To get the series just below the lowest series of the subnet, use the increment -1.

  - enumerateIPv4
```
public Long enumerateIPv4(IPv4AddressSection other)
```
    Indicates where an address section sits relative to the ordering of individual address sections within this section.
    Equivalent to enumerate(AddressSection) but returns a Long rather than a BigInteger.
  - enumerate
```
public BigInteger enumerate(AddressSection other)
```
    Description copied from interface: AddressSection
    Indicates where an address section sits relative to the ordering of individual address sections within this section.
    Determines how many address section elements precede the given address section element, if the given address section is within this address section. If above the range, it is the distance to the upper boundary added to the address section count, and if below the range, the distance to the lower boundary.
    In other words, if the given address section is not in this section but above it, returns the number of individual address sections preceding the given address section from the upper section boundary, added to the total number of individual address sections within. If the given address section is not in this section but below it, returns the number of individual address sections following the given address section to the lower section boundary.
    enumerate returns null when the argument is a multi-valued section. The argument must be an individual address section.
    When this address section is also single-valued, the returned value is the distance (difference) between this address section and the argument address section.
    enumerate is the inverse of the increment method:
    - section.enumerate(section.increment(inc)) = inc
    - section.increment(section.enumerate(individualSection)) = individualSection
    If the given address section does not have the same version or type as this address section, then null is returned. If the given address section is the same version and type, but has a different segment count, then SizeMismatchException is thrown.

    Description copied from interface: AddressSection
    
    Determines if the argument section matches this section up to the prefix length of this section.
    The entire prefix of this section must be present in the other section to be comparable.
    For sections which are aware of their position in an address (IPv6 and MAC), the argument section must have the same or an earlier position in the address to match all prefix segments of this section, and the matching is lined up relative to the position.

```
public IPv4AddressSection[] subtract(IPv4AddressSection other)
                              throws SizeMismatchException
```
    Subtract the given subnet from this subnet, returning an array of sections for the result (the subnets will not be contiguous so an array is required).
    Computes the subnet difference, the set of addresses in this address section but not in the provided section. This is also known as the relative complement of the given argument in this subnet.
    Keep in mind this is set subtraction, not subtraction of segment values. We have a subnet of addresses and we are removing some of those addresses.

    Description copied from interface: AddressSegmentSeries
    
    Increases or decreases prefix length to the next segment boundary.
    Follows the same rules as AddressSegmentSeries.adjustPrefixLength(int):
    When prefix length is increased, the bits moved within the prefix become zero. When a prefix length is decreased, the bits moved outside the prefix become zero. To avoid the zeroing behaviour, use AddressSegmentSeries.adjustPrefixBySegment(boolean, boolean) with second arg false.

```
    Description copied from class: IPAddressSection
    
    Sets the prefix length while allowing the caller to control whether bits moved in or out of the prefix become zero, and whether a zero host for the new prefix bits can be translated into a prefix block. The latter behaviour only applies to the default prefix handling configuration, PREFIXED_ZERO_HOSTS_ARE_SUBNETS. The methods IPAddressSection.setPrefixLength(int, boolean) and IPAddressSection.setPrefixLength(int) use a value of true for zeroed and for zeroHostIsBlock.
    For example, when zeroHostIsBlock is true, applying to 1.2.0.0 the prefix length 16 results in 1.2.*.*/16
    Or if you start with 1.2.0.0/24, setting the prefix length to 16 results in a zero host followed by the existing prefix block, which is then converted to a full prefix block, 1.2.*.*/16
    When both zeroed and zeroHostIsBlock are true, applying the prefix length of 16 to 1.2.4.0/24 also results in a zero host followed by the existing prefix block, which is then converted to a full prefix block, 1.2.*.*/16.
    When both zeroed and zeroHostIsBlock are false, the resulting address always encompasses the same set of addresses as the original, albeit with a different prefix length.

    Produces the series with host values of 0 for the given prefix length.

Instead, in this case, if the resulting series has a range of values, then the resulting series range boundaries will have host values of 0, but not necessarily the intervening values.
