Internet protocol network mapper
Abstract
A system for identifying IP ranges having a network address and a network address mask is provided. The system generates a collection of IP ranges. For each unique network address as defined by a maximum network address mask within provided IP addresses, the system adds to the collection an IP range for that unique network address. The added IP range may be defined by the unique network address and a network address mask that is set to the maximum network address mask. The system identifies groups of IP ranges of the collection to be represented by a combined IP range with a combined network address mask. For each group of IP ranges, the system removes from the collection the IP ranges within the group and adds to the collection the combined IP range with a network address and the combined network address mask.
