CSharp - Fastest way of getting IPv4 Subnet Mask expansion aka CIDR IP, and speed comparisons














Here's a couple of implementations of getting IPv4 subnet mask expansion or more specifically a CIDR IP subnet mask expansion.

CIDR notation is a compact representation of an IP address and its associated routing prefix. The notation is constructed from an IP address, a slash ('/') character, and a decimal number. The trailing number is the count of leading 1 bits in the routing mask, traditionally called the network mask. The IP address in the notation is always represented according to the standards for IPv4 or IPv6.

192.168.100.14/24 represents the IPv4 address 192.168.100.14 and its associated routing prefix 192.168.100.0, or equivalently, its subnet mask 255.255.255.0, which has 24 leading 1-bits.
