    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.

  - increment
```
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, or if the given increment is negative the given increment downwards into the subnet range, or if this is just an individual series, it simply adds the increment to this. If the increment is 0, then this series is returned.
    If the subnet has multiple values and the increment exceeds the subnet size, then the amount by which is exceeds the size is added to the upper series of the range (the final iterator value) or is subtracted from the lower series of the range (the first iterator value) if negative.
    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 iterator. For instance, a increment of 1 is value 1 from the iterator, an increment of 2 is the second value from the iterator, and so on. A negative increment is equivalent to the same number of values preceding the upper bound of the iterator. For instance, an increment of -1 is the last value from the iterator, and increment of -2 is the second last value, and so on.
    Therefore, to get the series just above the highest series of the subnet, use an increment of size:count > 1 ? count + 1 : 1 where count is the subnet size. To get the series just below the lowest series of the subnet, use an increment of size:-(count > 1 ? count + 1 : 1) where count is the subnet size.

public IPv4AddressSection toZeroHost()
                              throws IncompatibleAddressException
```
    Description copied from interface: IPAddressSegmentSeries
    
    Returns the segment series with a host of zero. If the series has no prefix length, then it returns an all-zero series.
    The resultant series will have the same prefix length if AddressNetwork.getPrefixConfiguration() is not AddressNetwork.PrefixConfiguration.ALL_PREFIXED_ADDRESSES_ARE_SUBNETS, otherwise it will no longer have a prefix length.
    For instance, you can get the network address for a subnet as follows: String addrStr = "1.2.3.4/16"; IPAddress address = new IPAddressString(addrStr).getAddress(); IPAddress networkAddress = address.toZeroHost(); //1.2.0.0

```
public IPv4AddressSection toZeroHost(int prefixLength)
```
    Description copied from interface: IPAddressSegmentSeries
    
    Produces the series with host values of 0 for the given prefix length.
    If this series has the same prefix length, then the resulting series will too, otherwise the resulting series will have no prefix length.
    This is nearly equivalent to doing the mask (bitwise conjunction) of this address series with the network mask for the given prefix length, but without the possibility of IncompatibleAddressException that can occur when applying a mask to a range of values. 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.
    For instance, you can get the network address for a subnet of prefix length 16 as follows: String addrStr = "1.2.3.4"; IPAddress address = new IPAddressString(addrStr).getAddress(); IPAddress networkAddress = address.toZeroHost(16); //1.2.0.0

    Description copied from interface: IPAddressSegmentSeries
    
    Returns the segment series with a host of all ones. If the series has no prefix length, then it returns an all-ones series.
    The resultant series will have the same prefix length if AddressNetwork.getPrefixConfiguration() is not AddressNetwork.PrefixConfiguration.ALL_PREFIXED_ADDRESSES_ARE_SUBNETS, otherwise it will no longer have a prefix length.
    For instance, you can get the broadcast address for a subnet as follows: String addrStr = "1.2.3.4/16"; IPAddress address = new IPAddressString(addrStr).getAddress(); IPAddress broadcastAddress = address.toMaxHost(); //1.2.255.255

public IPv4AddressSection toMaxHost(int prefixLength)
```
    Description copied from interface: IPAddressSegmentSeries
    
    Produces the series with host values of all one bits for the given prefix length.
    If this series has the same prefix length, then the resulting series will too, otherwise the resulting series will have no prefix length.
    This is nearly equivalent to doing the bitwise or (bitwise disjunction) of this address series with the network mask for the given prefix length, but without the possibility of IncompatibleAddressException that can occur when applying a mask to a range of values. Instead, in this case, if the resulting series has a range of values, then the resulting series range boundaries will have host values of all ones, but not necessarily the intervening values.
    For instance, you can get the broadcast address for a subnet of prefix length 16 as follows: String addrStr = "1.2.3.4"; IPAddress address = new IPAddressString(addrStr).getAddress(); IPAddress broadcastAddress = address.toMaxHost(16); //1.2.255.255
