##Check for invalid outputs, and regenerate them.

Check for invalid outputs, and regenerate them.

It's possible that you'll produce an output that's reserved for a particular purpose, such as loopback (127.0.0.1 or ::1) or broadcast (255.255.255.255, ff02::1, ff02::2). Build in knowledge of such addresses, and if you find you've produced one, then replace it. You can do that recursively:

def make_address(v):
    address = random_ip(v)
    if is_reserved(address):
        return make_address(v)
    return address

##Check for invalid outputs, and regenerate them.

def make_address(v):
    address = random_ip(v)
    if is_reserved(address):
        return make_address(v)
    return address

Check for invalid outputs, and regenerate them.

def make_address(v):
    address = random_ip(v)
    if is_reserved(address):
        return make_address(v)
    return address
