IP Address (IPAddressGenerator)

The IP Address generator generates a random string that is formatted as an IP address.

Link object structure

The IP Address generator does not support linking. It can be self-consistent or consistent with another column. You cannot configure differential privacy.

The metadata object is populated from the RatioMetadata object. The ratio field specifies, as a decimal value, the percentage of values to format as IPV4. The remaining values are formatted as IPV6.

{
  "schema": "string",
  "table": "string",
  "column": "string",
  "dataType": "string"  //MongoDB only
  "metadata": {
    "presetId": "string",
    "generatorId": "IPAddressGenerator",
    "ratio": numeric,
    "isConsistent": boolean,
    "consistencyColumn": "string",
    "encryptionProcessor": "x-on", //To use configured Structural data encryption
    "customValueProcessor": "string"  //If custom value processor applied
  }
}

Example replacement

In the following example replacement for the IP Address generator, 90% of the generated addresses are IPV4. Consistency is disabled.

{
  "name": "ip",
  "table": "servers",
  "schema": "public",
  "links": [
    {
      "schema": "public",
      "table": "servers",
      "column": "ip",
      "metadata": {
        "presetId": "IPAddressGenerator",
        "generatorId": "IPAddressGenerator",
        "ratio": 0.9,
        "isConsistent": false
      }
    }
  ]
}
