The below is a list of methods left to be stabilized under the ip feature. The path forward today is unclear; if you'd like to push through any method on here the libs team is interested in a PR with links to the associated RFCs or other official documentation. Let us know!

• IpAddr::is_documentation
• Ipv6Addr::is_documentation

• IpAddr::is_global
• Ipv4Addr::is_global
• Ipv6Addr::is_global

• Ipv4Addr::is_shared
• Ipv4Addr::is_ietf_protocol_assignment Remove Ipv4Addr::is_ietf_protocol_assignment #86439
• Ipv4Addr::is_benchmarking
• Ipv4Addr::is_reserved

• Ipv6Addr::is_unicast_global
• Ipv6Addr::is_unicast_link_local
• Ipv6Addr::is_unicast_link_local_strict Remove Ipv6Addr::is_unicast_link_local_strict #85819

• Ipv6Addr::is_ipv4_mapped
• Ipv6Addr::to_ipv4_mapped Stabilize Ipv6Addr::to_ipv4_mapped #96906
• Ipv6Addr::to_canonical Stabilize {IpAddr, Ipv6Addr}::to_canonical #115955
• IpAddr::to_canonical Stabilize {IpAddr, Ipv6Addr}::to_canonical #115955

Steps

• Implementation std: Add a net module for TCP/UDP #22015
• Implementation Add IpAddr common methods #34694
• Stabilization attempt stabilize the "ip" feature #66584
• Stabilization attempt Stabilize the "IP" feature #76098
• Stabilization PR(s)

Subsets of the listed methods can be stabilized, rather than attempting to stabilize everything at once.

• More specific case of the above: does the IPv6 unicast interface do what we expect? IPv6 Unicast Interface #85604
• Do the provided methods pass ipcheck? https://github.com/rust-lang/libs-team/tree/93b78eef2e0d455a3e69c05333cd8f276e4e95f1/tools/ipcheck. Last known run: Stabilize the "IP" feature #76098 (comment)

From @KodrAus in #76098 (comment):

• Should we replace the Ipv6Addr::is_unicast_* methods with a Ipv6Addr::unicast_scope method that returns a Ipv6UnicastScope enum (Stabilize the "IP" feature #76098 (comment))?
• Should we change the behavior of Ipv6Addr::to_ipv4 to ignore deprecated IPv4-compatible addresses, or deprecate the whole method in favor of the more correct Ipv6Addr::to_ipv4_mapped method (Stabilize the "IP" feature #76098 (comment))?
• Are we ok with Ipv6Addr::is_* methods now properly considering mapped (non-deprecated) IPv4 addresses? I'd personally be comfortable considering the old behavior a bug.
• Are there any behavioral differences between other language implementations that we should investigate? (Stabilize the "IP" feature #76098 (comment))
