/// sf::IpAddress a1 = sf::IpAddress::None;               // an invalid address (same as a0)
/// sf::IpAddress a2("127.0.0.1");                        // the local host address
/// sf::IpAddress a3 = sf::IpAddress::Broadcast;          // the broadcast address
/// sf::IpAddress a4(192, 168, 1, 56);                    // a local address
/// sf::IpAddress a5("my_computer");                      // a local address created from a network name
/// sf::IpAddress a6("89.54.1.169");                      // a distant address
/// sf::IpAddress a7("www.google.com");                   // a distant address created from a network name
