to compare an IpAddress to an GenAddress that contains a UdpAddress you 
could compare ip[n] to gen[n] with n walking from 0 to ip.get_length().

You could also use the following:
   GenAddress addr;

   target.get_address(addr);
   IpAddress localhost("127.0.0.1");

   if (addr.get_type() == Address::type_udp)
     if ((IpAddress)addr.cast_udpaddress() == localhost)
       cout << "identical" << endl;
