Detailed Description
Internet addresses used specifically as masking addresses (such as ' 255.255.255.0') are held in the IPV6Mask derived object.
The separate class is used so that C++ type casting can automatically determine when an IPV6Address object is really a mask address object rather than simply using the base class. This also allows manipulative operators for address masking to operate only when presented with a Masked address as well as providing cleaner and safer source.
