## Detailed Description

An IPv4/IPv6 address.

InetAddress represents an IPv4 or IPv6 internet address. Use Resolver::lookup_by_name() or Resolver::lookup_by_name_async() to look up the InetAddress for a hostname. Use Resolver::lookup_by_address() or Resolver::lookup_by_address_async() to look up the hostname for a InetAddress.

To actually connect to a remote host, you will need a InetSocketAddress (which includes a InetAddress as well as a port number).
