public boolean belowRange ( InetAddress ip ) { if ( TraceComponent . isAnyTracingEnabled ( ) && tc . isDebugEnabled ( ) ) { Tr . debug ( tc , "belowRange, ip is " + ip ) ; Tr . debug ( tc , "belowRange, ipLower is " + ipLower ) ; } return lessThan ( ip , ipLower ) ; }
Is the given ip address numerically below the address range? Is it below ipLower?
