If you’ve been on the Internet, you almost certainly know what an IP address is. Hint: No, it’s not “Internet Position”. But it’s not that simple is it? IPv4 is widely understood, and IPv6 is scary! Network addresses are also factored into how IP addresses are used and managed. We subnet, supernet, delegate prefixes, route networks, track aggregates, assign IP addresses, and so on! How should you properly parse network addresses and IPs? What’s the difference anyhow? Which tools are best and how do I know which to choose?
