Network update and first method comments #1
Conversation
Changed network definition with more fitting defaults Compined ipv4_subnet and ipv4 into ipv4_cidr to be more consistent with other uses of ipv4 updated test.py and range.py for new network setup renamed network.rm() to be consistent with network.destroy_by_name()

I think it would be good to also change how ipv4 is used with Interfaces so the api is consistent in that matter. So that Interfaces work with the cidr representation as well instead of prefix_length and ipv4

It would probably be wise also do this for ipv6 in general as well right?

yeah but ipv6 is not even fully implemented yet, i open an issue for that #2

Do we actually need socket and struct for the IP parsing, maybe ipaddress offers the functionality you need?
added ipv6 cidr changed ipv4 splitting logic cleanup

Did you mean self.ipv6_prefix = "" instead of self.ipv6_subnet = "" ?

Other components of cave (e.g. this line) use the ipv4 and prefix_length properties, so we cannot remove them.
Maybe change Interface to a normal class and do the calculation of ipv4 and prefix_length from ipv4_cidr in the constructor like done in network.py?

We could then also include sanity checks in the constructor e.g. assert "/" in ipv4_cidr, this is not a clean solution but we are just building a prototype here for now.

Would it make sense to introduce a utility module to ease the introduction of functionalities, which are reused throughout cave? This would also ease the introduction of argument validation etc. in the future.

I think for now it is not really necessary
