yFiltering range
The filtering range is calculated based on IP address and subnet mask provided by user as follows:
The subnet value defi nes the number of masked bits, which will mask the IP address that is converted into
Ex) IP address : 128.128.128.128
c If the Subnet is set to 8, converted IP is 1000 0000.1000 0000.1000 0000.1000 0000 and the subnet directs to fi nd matches from the fi rst bit to the 8th bit, produces the
filtering range of 1000 0000.???? ????.???? ????.???? ????, which will be converted back to IP address range of 128.0.0.0 ~ 128.255.255.255.
dIf the Subnet is set to 10, converted IP is 1000 0000.1000 0000.1000 0000.1000 0000 and the subnet directs to fi nd matches from the fi rst bit to the 10th bit, produces the fi ltering range of 1000 0000.0000.10?? ????.???? ????.???? ????, which will be converted back to IP address range of 128.0.0.0 ~ 128.191.255.255.
eIf the Subnet is set to 20, converted IP is 1000 0000.1000 0000.1000 0000.1000 0000 and the subnet directs to fi nd matches from the fi rst bit to the 20th bit, produces the
fi ltering range of 1000 00001000 0000.1000 ????.???? ????, which will be converted back to IP address range of 128.128.128.0 ~ 128.128.143.255.
fIf the Subnet is set to 30, converted IP is 1000 0000.1000 0000.1000 0000.1000 0000 and the subnet directs to fi nd matches from the fi rst bit to the 30th bit, produces the
fi ltering range of 1000 0000.1000 0000.1000 0000.1000 00??, which will be converted back to IP address range of 128.128.128.128 ~ 128.128.128.131.
gIf the Subnet is set to 32, converted IP is 1000 0000.1000 0000.1000 0000.1000 0000 and the subnet directs to fi nd matches from the fi rst bit to the 32th bit, produces the
fi ltering range of 1000 0000.1000 0000.1000 0000.1000 0000, which will be converted back to IP address of 128.128.128.128.
