Module Name:

    range.h

Abstract:

    This module implements an efficient mapping from an arbitrary range of
    IP addresses to a minimal set of IP address-mask pairs covering the range.

    The key to the approach is to regard the set of all possible IP addresses
    as a full 32-bit deep binary tree. Then a single IP address is a path
    through that tree, and a range of addresses is the area between two paths
    through the tree. We then describe such a path-delineated area by pruning
    full subtrees of the area recursively from left to right.
