Package IPStore

Reliably log, store and count ingress IP addresses.

IPStore is a library for keeping track of IP addresses that make request to your service.

Features

• Light-Weight
• Fast Insert and Fetch Operations
• Validation of inputs
• Modular and extendable for any kind of storage

Example Code

Using this library is as simple as running the following

package main

import 	"github.com/teezzan/ipstore"

func main() {
	 // Stores the IP Address 192.34.56.321 in the memory storage
	 ipstore.RequestHandled("192.34.56.321") 
    
	 // Increments the IP Address 192.54.56.333 count by 1.
	 ipstore.RequestHandled("192.34.56.321") 

	 // Fetch the top 100 frequent IP addresses
	 top100 := ipstore.Top100()
	 
	 // Removes all stored IP addresses. 
	 ipstore.Clear()
}

Installation

Use go get.

go get github.com/teezzan/ipstore

Then import IPstore library into your own code.

import "github.com/teezzan/ipstore"

Documentation

The doc for this library can be found on pkg.go.dev.

Architecture

The modular architecture allows for implementation of the same system using another storage.

Testing

Run make tests to run tests.

Benchmark Results

Ensure you have considerable memory before running the benchmark tests with make benchmark. You can also tweak the number of IP addresses to choose from by editing the variable ipLookupSize (defaults to a billion) in ./benchmark_test.go.

Below is the result of such benchmark with a billion unique ip addresses.
