NodeID - IPv4-Based Node ID Generator

Overview

This tool generates a unique node identifier by extracting and utilizing the last two bytes of the local IPv4 address assigned to the instance. This approach provides a simple way to create distinct identifiers for nodes in a network.

How It Works

The generator performs the following steps:

1. Retrieves the local IPv4 address of the instance
2. Extracts the last two octets (bytes) of the IP address
3. Combines these bytes to create a unique node identifier

For example:

• If local IP is 192.168.9.120
• Last two bytes are 9 and 120
• Generated node ID: 2424
