You can use integer representation of IPv4 addresses as your "internal format" for sorting and sumilar tasks:
SELECT IP2INT('0.0.0.0'); ==>0 SELECT IP2INT('192.168.1.1'); ==>3232235777 SELECT IP2INT('255.255.255.255'); ==>4294967295 The integer value of first IP address by mask can be obtained as SELECT NETFROM('192.168.1.1',32); ==>3232235777 And NETTO() function returns integer value of last IP address by mask. So count of addresses calculation is simple: SELECT NETTO('192.168.1.1/24') - NETFROM('192.168.1.1/24'); ==>255 See module documentation for other functions.
