IP Address Range And Supernet Calculator

IP Address Range And Supernet: a planned Super Calculator tool. Covers start and end IP addresses. Stub page while the tool and its worked example are prepared.

IP Address Range And Supernet Calculator is a planned calculator in the technology section of Super Calculator, covering computer science and technical.

What this calculator will compute

Inputs: start and end IP addresses, or a CIDR list, IP version and aggregation mode.

Outputs: minimal CIDR block list, total address count, integer and hexadecimal representations, overlap detection, aggregated prefix and reverse DNS zone boundaries.

Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: Convert dotted decimal to a 32 bit integer, compute the range endpoints, and derive the minimal set of CIDR blocks covering an arbitrary start and end address by aligned block decomposition. Supernetting aggregates adjacent blocks sharing a common prefix.
